...together with that of former Premier and De Gaulle Aide Michel Debré, 69, further complicates the race. Gaullists, who consider Giscard a usurper, will no doubt favor Chirac or Debré in the first round. Giscard's re-election may depend on how many return to the fold in a runoff against Mitterrand...
...will direct the floating observatory. C. Robert O'Dell, 43, the project's chief scientist, thinks the new instrument may be the most important telescope ever built. Lofted into earth orbit by the space shuttle, it will expand the astronomers' universe (increasing its observable volume 350-fold) and render whatever it reaches visible in exquisite new detail.

On the street you can already hear people talking about next year's game schedule, whom the Steelers might get in the draft, who will retire and who will be traded. You can hear plenty of personal analyses of the Steeler-Houston game, too--everybody's got their own version...
