CHICAGO: Chicago commuters are facing up to forty minutes of added drive time between O'Hare Airport and downtown because of an unusual gawker's delay, reports TIME's Julie Grace. "Elston and Milwaukee Avenues have been dubbed 'Rodman reroutes' because of a giant billboard advertisement of Bulls player Dennis Rodman in a Bigsby & Kruthers business suit and tie which went up after Rodman was suspended for six games for head-butting a NBA referee. The suit is tailored to accentuate Rodman's tattoos in the most obvious way: the sleeves are cut off." Although all the attention...

Finally, the shape of Hyakutake's orbit tells astronomers that it has been here before, perhaps 9,000 years ago. That's crucial: the only reason a comet is visible at all is that its tiny core, just a few miles across, is surrounded by a giant cloud of gas and dust that can spread over a million miles. The cloud spews from the comet itself, as the sun's heat turns its dirty, icy surface into dirty water vapor mixed with other gases. If a comet is on its maiden voyage to the inner solar system, though, its surface...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Three former Philip Morris employees have accused the tobacco giant of manipulating nicotine in cigarettes, according to government affidavits released today. Ian Uydess, former Philip Morris senior scientist, Philip Morris' former research director William Farone, and a former Richmond., Va. plant manager told the Food and Drug Administration that Philip Morris alters nicotine levels several times in the cigarette making process.
