...causes; in Manila. No savage seemed nobler--or more unreal--than the bare-bodied Tasaday, whom Elizalde introduced to the public in 1971. When journalists found in 1986 that these simple, food-gathering folk had traded in their leafy loincloths for jeans, T shirts and baseball caps, skeptics charged foul play...
...Life is far from perfect.

"We would ask the Americans: What kind of experts are you to think about deserting this unique space platform?" According to NASA, cautious ones. Mir has undergone a worrisome stretch of technical foul-ups lately, ranging from an overheated living module to the explosion of an oxygen-generating canister. While the Russians insist everything is under control, NASA does not share their confidence: if the problems continue after Linenger's return to Earth in mid-May, the U.S. space agency says...
