...intense solar observations should provide clues to many of the still unanswered or only partly resolved questions about the sun: Does the solar cycle affect terrestrial weather? What internal mechanisms control the cycle? Is the sun growing cooler? Hotter? Is there a basic flaw in the current theory about the fusion process that powers the solar furnace...
Bush and Congressional leaders should not correct a flaw in the health care system by deepening a flaw in the political system. They should create a prenatal care program which can have a long and healthy life...
...Berg's account, Goldwyn's radical self-reliance had something like the nobility of a tragic flaw. His two marriages were deeply troubled, and as a father he was sometimes cruelly distant.

And Georgia Tech's effort, patched together with deuterium from a local chemical outfit and palladium ordered from a Chicago precious-metals dealer, had a serious flaw. The neutron counter that indicated fusion was apparently not working properly. Said team leader James Mahaffey to the Atlanta Constitution: "I have really been in agony. The announcement was impetuous. The problem is that this is like a race." Even Pons' appearance in Dallas was marred, when some members...
