...spacecraft prepares for a July 4 touchdown. Making a whimsical entry, the half-ton lander will approach the surface at 1pm EST at about 55 miles per hour, whereupon a bubble pack will absorb the brunt of the impact, sending the lander bouncing like a basketball up to the height of a four-story building until it settles safely on the planet surface. A small rover named Sojourner (24.5 inches long by 18.7 inches wide) will then emerge to study the planet's geological characteristics. Pathfinder will land at the dry mouth of an ancient channel called Ares Vallis...

Greenpeace last week declared Rockall the independent, though mostly virtual, nation of Waveland (Website: http://www.greenpeace.org.uk passports available) to stop oil exploration in the surrounding sea. The weather is good, says Baker, which means that waves are not as high as the 60-ft. height of Waveland, though that's not always the case.

Barak's first task will be to find the cracks in Netanyahu?s constituency and position himself for the next general...
...album, Blue Moon Swamp (Warner Bros.), follows a decade of anger, frustration, fear and hard-won resolution. But you don't hear the turmoil that went into the making of these songs. Instead you feel the confidence and ebullience of an artist renewed, covering the ground at the height of his power, even if the album's 12 tunes work out, on average, to one every 10 months or so. Ask him why the album took so long, and Fogerty, 52 this week, has an explanation as honest and ardent as his lyrics: "The record was no f__ing good...
