...Richard M. Daley and to some extent Los Angeles' Robert Riordan and New York City's Rudolph Giuliani--who actively collaborate and compare notes on how to make cities work. Goldsmith visits Giuliani every few months to talk shop; Rendell and Goldsmith bounce ideas off each other at frequent joint speaking appearances. And good practices, big or small, travel fast. "You learn a lot from each other," says Republican Riordan, who used Indianapolis-style competing out to award cleanup contracts after the 1994 Northridge, Calif., earthquake. Goldsmith is using a silicone-based antigraffiti sealant he learned about from Daley. Says...
...Until recently, El Ninos came more or less periodically every two to seven years. But in the early 1990s several El Ninos appeared in a row, one right after another. Now, after dying down in 1995 and '96, El Nino is back. What is going on? scientists wonder. Are frequent El Ninos a signal of global warming caused by human tampering with the atmosphere? Or do they arise from random fluctuations in the natural cycle? There are as yet no good answers to these questions. Observes Michael Glantz of the National Center for Atmospheric Research: "The discrepancy between what...

Otherwise, their work makes them vaguely restless in ways that are scarcely worth discussing. This is not to say that frequent flashbacks to the bad old days--when the pair lived, squabbling and self-obsessed, in a rundown flat above a Chinese takeout restaurant--are finally any more conclusive.

...helium nuclei and analyzing the resulting patterns of radiation, the spectrometer revealed that the soil was rich in iron and virtually identical to that examined at other sites 21 years earlier by the Viking landers. This suggested to scientists that Martian topsoil is widely distributed by the planet's frequent global dust storms. Why the reddish hue? "The surface of Mars is rusting," explains Jim Bell, a Cornell University scientist...
...driver a view of Disneyland's tallest attractions rather than the ocean's buoys. Along the way lie the ubiquitous fast-food restaurants, rest stops and mini-malls: reminders of a location in consumer America, more specifically southern California. The roads are well-paved and well-labeled, with frequent mileage signs dotting their shoulders...
