...village of Naalaafushi seems like a place out of time, where people drowse through the heat of the day beneath the shade of hibiscus trees and coconut palms. It's a charming island. It's also extremely small, not much more than a quarter-mile across. From the sandy street that runs through the center of town, you can see both the brilliant turquoise of the interior lagoon and, on the other side, waves breaking on the shallow reef that faces the Indian Ocean. There are dozens of islands like Naalaafushi in the Maldives--too many, say government officials...
...reporters. "You know you're going to run fast whenever you come here." And he added later, "The atmosphere is electric ... it lifts you up." Most world-class runners agree. In the long Norse summer evenings, the air at Bislett is still and cool, so that neither wind nor heat oppresses the competitors. And the frequent rain showers leave a quickening aura of freshness, almost as if there were more oxygen to be gulped down to infuse the muscles with sustained power. The track itself, a recently installed Rekortan surface, is as fast as a fine track should be, though...

But cheap energy is not going to be available to Americans because of the country's attitude toward nuclear power, which is the cheapest, safest, cleanest form of energy.

And as the space shuttle Challenger touched down last week on the runway at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., in 95° heat, kicking up petticoats of dust, a flight that had begun in near disaster ended in triumph. Declared Mission Manager Roy Lester: "Even with a rough start, we achieved excellent science...
...work into their already difficult round-the-clock schedule. An X-ray telescope zoomed in on the distant stellar clusters of Virgo and Centaurus, recording the precise contours of their massive radiation fields. Toward the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum, another telescope, an infrared instrument, mapped the invisible heat of the Milky Way. A small satellite called the plasma diagnostics package was suspended from the ship's giant remote arm to measure "ripples," or the wake that the shuttle causes in the earth's ionosphere. At several points, the shuttle fired its thrusters to poke temporary "holes...
