...United Nations Security Council, intent on keeping the heat on the Bosnian Serbs, has unanimously passed a resolution demanding "immediate and unrestricted access" to areas where war crimes may have been committed. In other events, the brouhaha between President Clinton and Bob Dole over who, if anyone, should spend Christmas with the U.S. troops in Bosnia continued as Clinton announced Friday that, as much as he wanted to go, he would not.

It also becomes a critique of pure reason. For Neil is placing impossible demands on himself, on his associates, on a chance universe in which they inhabit one of the chancier corners. He can't prevent himself from falling in love (with Amy Brenneman's innocent bookstore clerk). He can't prevent...
...Galileo goes into orbit, a probe that it will have released 147 days earlier will plunge into the upper Jovian atmosphere at 106,000 m.p.h., its heat shield glowing. Two minutes later, after friction has slowed its descent, the probe will deploy a parachute at around 400 m.p.h. and drift downward, sniffing at gases, measuring temperatures and pressures, observing cloud structures and lightning and transmitting data back to its mother ship. Finally, about an hour into its descent, the probe will be vaporized by the steadily increasing temperatures it encounters below the dense clouds. Its fate, says a NASA official...
