...while they're on the way to the scene, right down to the room where the oily rags are stored. In the next few months the city is planning to give fire fighters clip-on webcams that can stream video back to the fire truck from inside a towering inferno. ("Instead of the fire hose dousing the building with water, you're dousing it with 10 megabit!" exults Stalter, sounding like he's running for office...
...lack of sex—it all creates a strange cycle of behavior that starts every morning and ends late into the night. The end result is exhaustion and an inability to get out of bed. Perhaps the inscription above the Gate of Hell in Dante’s Inferno sums it up best: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” As a public service announcement, I write to you to illustrate a typical morning of an upperclassman.

NASA has dared go to Mercury only once before, 30 years ago, when Mariner 10 made three flybys. Now NASA is set to try again, with a spacecraft called MESSENGER, which is scheduled to take off as early as this week on a mission to become the first probe to orbit...
