...Sure, they lured both Clintons into blasting them, but it's the hokey soap-opera techniques perfected in the Taster's Choice coffee ads that have made Harry and Louise seem like a bad song you can't stop humming. The actors cast as Harry and Louise by Ben Goddard, president of the Goddard-Clausen/First Tuesday ad agency, are similar to the Taster's Choice twosome in age, self-absorption and pseudo sophistication, although they have dissimilar levels of sexual tension...
...Harry and Louise are Everyman," says Goddard, but no one like them has ever been seen in nature. Which is more fantastic? That a cappuccino-swilling duo would be caught dead spooning coffee from a jar, or that a two-career couple would spend their nights reading aloud from government documents?

Her best hope for the future might be the sociology degree that she is 30 credits shy of getting from nearby Goddard College. But she can't afford day care for her six-year-old -- or transportation to get to school...
...years from earth. They based their calculation on the recent detection by the Rosat X-ray satellite of a cloud of hot gas that suffuses a seemingly empty region between two of the galaxies. The gas molecules are moving at such high velocities, explains Richard Mushotzky of NASA'S Goddard Space Flight Center, that a "cloud like this would have dissipated into space long ago, leaving nothing for us to detect, unless it was held together by the gravity of an immense mass." The unseen mass needed to perform this function may outweigh the amount of visible material...
...list of tragic American Dreamers, people who martyred themselves for visions that stubbornly refused realization while they lived -- one thinks of rocket scientist Robert Goddard and car manufacturer Preston Tucker -- it seems we must now add the name of Benjamin Siegel. His great notion was the reinvention of Las Vegas, converting it from a sleepy cow town into a gaudy pleasure dome where everything that was illicit elsewhere in the puritanical U.S. of a half-century ago was openly available on a gloriously legal basis...
