...focusing their attention on a generation barely old enough to drive, because the 70 million or so echo boomers (born between 1977 and 1994) may grow up to be the most affluent generation ever. But unlike their parents, the echo boomers claim to have no interest in driving elephantine, fuel-swilling sport-utility vehicles and trucks...
That's why carmakers are redefining the long-forgotten small-car segment, for which they are dreaming up new vehicles like DaimlerChrysler's PT Cruiser and the Ford Escape. These latest creations may not be quite as fuel thrifty, but they are vast stylistic improvements over the lackluster econo-boxes of the 1970s and '80s. They have to be. The next generation wants a lot more for its money (or Mom and Dad's money), so today's small cars are bulging with what the trade calls content--everything from power windows to CD players to telescoping steering wheels...
Gustafsson was not alone in rousing her teammates with big wins. Chock, a junior, provided some fuel of her own for the fire. Chock sprinted past her competition in the 50 freestyle to touch with a winning time of 24.50 and equaled that effort later in the afternoon with a 58.48 performance in the 100 butterfly...
...your story that particularly caught my eye was made by Columbine football player Evan Todd. He justified the teasing of the "rejects" by calling them "homos." The picture he painted reflects the narrow-minded and offensive climate that fills Columbine High. It is comments like Todd's that fuel the anger, embarrassment and feelings of inadequacy of people like Harris and Klebold, because these youngsters do not fit the acceptable mold. To say as others do that "the whole social-cruelty angle was overblown" is ridiculous. As a senior in high school, I have watched for the past...
...Lander clearly shows--once again--that NASA's remote-control system to land its unmanned spacecraft softly on other planets incorporates unacceptable limitations. The best stage in the exploration of Mars will lie in a manned mission. But this can't happen until there are significant breakthroughs in rocket-fuel flights to attain far higher speeds. All exploration of Mars should be put on hold. The Red Planet can afford to wait. If life ever existed on that icy, parched-dry, dead world, it petered out not less than 3 billion years ago.
