Plasma from coronal holes may well have triggered the geomagnetic storms that crippled the Anik E-1 satellite and temporarily disabled at least six others...

As it stands, more than a dozen faces familiar from the age of panty-hose-with-Reeboks will be starring in the season's new comedies and dramas. Former teen icons Molly Ringwald and Brooke Shields both have their own single-gal sitcoms (Townies on ABC and Suddenly Susan on NBC, respectively).
