Helping spur this gold rush is Designer Ralph Lauren's hit line of Western wear. Loafers just do not go with a $400 leather-fringed suit.

...robot will become the first envoy from earth to reconnoiter Saturn, passing within 21,300 km (13,300 miles) of the solar system's second largest planet. If the flyby goes as planned, Pioneer 11 will not only send back 50 colored closeups of the great ringed gaseous sphere but provide valuable data on its interior structure, temperature, density and magnetic field...
