...long enough; sooner rather than later he must be deposed in favor of a government committed to peace and stability in the Middle East. In this light, the most troubling question we have is whether Operation Desert Fox, planned to last just four days, will have a great enough impact on Iraq's capacity for harm. We hope President Clinton has a strategy for dealing with Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi threat that extends beyond the next three days...
...American Studies Department, black students still face a Faculty that is overwhelmingly white and an administration unreceptive to calls for greater Faculty diversity. Randomization has atomized and dispersed black students, undermining traditionally supportive communities; the College has addressed the problem of self-segregation without dealing adequately with the negative impact on black students' experiences at Harvard.

...pods are designed to shatter on impact, releasing a pair of 7-in. probes. Slamming into the surface, the probes are supposed to drive themselves 4 ft. into the Martian crust. Once buried, they will deploy tiny drills and begin sampling the chemical makeup of the soil around them. Scientists believe that chemistry could be remarkably rich. "The surface of Mars has been pretty well sterilized by ultraviolet radiation," says Sam Thurman, the mission's flight-operations manager. The subsurface has been spared that scrubbing...
