From the start, the relationship between the foreign troops and Somalis has been ill defined, leaving ample room for misunderstanding. When a group of heavily armed Marines disgorged from an amphibious assault vehicle stenciled with the name BRAT PACK and tried to secure an airfield hangar, they baffled non-English-speaking Somalis with orders to "Get down on your knees!" and "Spread your arms!" At least one Somali found the treatment inexplicably rude, given that the men were unarmed. "If you are a human being, it's not good for you to be lying on the ground," he said...
Although the conceptual design appears straightforward, the casting of a honeycomb mirror requires considerable technical know-how -- and time. Angel's team tackles the job in their hangar-like mirror lab located, improbably enough, under the stands of the University of Arizona football stadium. In the center of the lab is a huge round furnace. To make a mirror, a complex ceramic mold is assembled inside the furnace and filled with glittering chunks of Pyrex-type glass.

The Supreme Court gave its assent Friday night. A State Department spokesman said the government "will begin immediately repatriating Haitians...
Home Depot has prospered by taking the angst out of the hangar-like spaces and vast array of items that can easily daunt do-it-yourself shoppers. All the firm's warehouse stores feature clearly marked displays and sales staffs wearing large orange aprons who roam the concrete floors to offer advice. Many employees are former carpenters, plumbers or other craftsmen who have traded in their tool kits for such incentives as the company's stock-purchase plan, which lets Home Depot's 26,000 workers buy shares at 15% below the market price; at week's end, the shares...
