...never flying solo. You and your wingmen move into a complicated choreography charted for each of the 400 daily sorties. Depending on how far you've had to fly--B-2s fly more than 15 hours from the U.S.--it's likely your plane will slow down to gulp fuel from an aerial tanker before your final run into hostile airspace. One of every three flights is an aerial tanker sortie--more of them than attack flights...
...military questions revolve around Milosevic's ability to survive without what NATO is now destroying. The Pentagon's plans to drain Yugoslavia of oil, for example, only make sense if Serbian forces need fuel to prevail and don't have much stockpiled. "We have destroyed all their big reserves and refineries, but they have a whole network of smaller storage reserves," a French official says. "We thought they'd only have petrol for a month, but now it turns out they have a capacity far greater than that." And the pulverizing attacks against Serbia's command-and-control network...
...work. No living architect has thought more closely about the ecological effects of his buildings. In his brilliant 1991 design for Frankfurt's Commerzbank, the tallest office building in Europe, he brought off the seemingly impossible feat of building a supertower that could use natural ventilation (as against fuel-gobbling air conditioning) during 60% of the year. "Anything that reduces energy consumption and cuts down on greenhouse gases is good news," he says. In his redesign of the Reichstag, the seat of German government in Berlin, Foster has carried this out to an extraordinary degree. He noted that...
...advertisements, so why not trash bins? Starting this fall, receptacles in some 450 cities, including Atlanta, Denver and San Francisco, will sport lighted ads on all four sides. AdBrite, which designed the bins, used what president Caesar Passannante calls "space-age technology," including shatterproof panels and energy-saving, fuel-cell-powered fluorescent lamps to make the spiffy, gold-trimmed black bins glow in the dark. But inside it's still just trash...
Hillary Clinton will be in New York City for three days this week to talk about education and children's health, give awards to Desmond Tutu and Katie Couric, raise money for Democrats -- and no doubt fuel more speculation about her plans. Despite intriguing little gestures such as the Long Island wine that was served at the official dinner for China's Zhu Rongji, the First Lady isn't expected to give a formal inkling of her decision on the New York Senate race until June. But her advisers say that the more she thinks about it -- egged...
