...White House, inner-circle Georgians refer to him as Woody Woodpecker, because his Dagwood-style haircut gives him the cartoon character look, and because he keeps rap-rap-rapping for the President's ear. His friends call him Zbig, and their one-word description is energetic. He thinks fast, acts fast, talks fast. Critics would say too fast, too compulsively and too impulsively.

Shrouded in a veil of fast-moving, pale yellow clouds, its surface temperature about 480° C. (900° F.)-hot enough to melt lead-Venus has tenaciously resisted attempts to probe its secrets. As Earth and Venus move closer together this year, two American and two Russian space probes will again test the formidable Venusian defenses. Last week, after a successful launch from Cape Canaveral, the first U.S. ship was speeding...
