...Striking as the Hubble images are, there is one thing they couldn?t reveal. The telescope?s giant eye can see lunar objects no smaller than 60 yards across. Somewhere in Taurus-Littrow and Hadley-Apennine are the comparatively tiny, truck-sized descent stages of the Apollo lunar modules, left behind when the crews blasted off. Neither of those metal relics has been seen in the more than 30 years since human beings last walked on the moon. Only if the U.S. actually commits itself to its new lunar plans will they be seen again any time soon...

Roche, however, can probably pick its partners on this...
...encouraged to drink a Budweiser on the side. That way, Bud can have its beer and drink it too. Water in the cups means binge drinking isn’t a liability, and Bud on the side means the company can hide the soul of the game with its giant static-decal logos. Put simply, Bud and Miller will ruin the number one college-invented game. Take Beirut out of its natural habitat—dorm rooms and bars—and thrust it into the limelight and you’ve got a product about as interesting as professional...
