Murphy can only hope Menick's performance during the team's spring trip to Japan presages things to come. The sophomore tailback, who was second on the team with 326 rushing yards in 1996, ran for 265 yards and scored five touchdowns in a 42-35 comeback win over Kyoto University...

Last week they seemed a little closer to getting their wish. At a meeting of the International Astronomical Union in Kyoto, Japan, and at a special NASA briefing in Washington, solar physicists ecstatically reported results from a new generation of solar observatories--a NASA-European Space Agency satellite known as soho (for Solar and Heliospheric Observatory), which has been circling the sun since December 1995, and the National Science Foundation's global network of ground-based solar stations. By keeping a day-to-day eye on solar weather features such as the sun's "trade winds" and "jet streams," these...
...fared even worse. Blocked by the Bush Administration from setting mandatory limits, the U.N. in 1992 called on nations to voluntarily reduce emissions to 1990 levels. Five years later, it's as if Rio had never happened. A new climate treaty is scheduled to be signed this December in Kyoto, Japan, but governments still cannot agree on limits.

...Adam Werbach. "With the whole world watching, the president of the world's biggest polluter needs to do more than warn of the dire consequences of global warming." Even though the President did promise to come up with a "realistic" U.S. plan to slash emissions before December talks in Kyoto, Japan on a global warming treaty, environmentalists aren't holding their breath. While smog and soot are everyday problems American voters can easily relate to, the threat of coastal areas in Florida and Louisiana being submerged by rising seas is less immediate. And with the U.S.' energy-guzzling economy boasting...
