Miller slid into the ball enough to launch itup by the far post where Stauffer was position fora header; she struck it solidly into the left halfof the net, evading Cauzillo. Her goal gaveHarvard a 1-0 lead, a narrow margin but one fromwhich Cornell would never recover...
Work is under way on the only Hyde portrait that really matters. When the Judiciary Committee meets this week to launch the third inquiry into the impeachment of a President in the nation's history, partisan members will bicker and spit--but Hyde's performance will go a long way toward either reassuring people that the process is orderly and rational or convincing them that it is a witch hunt. "If I were to fail," he told TIME last week, "it would negate everything I have done before." And even those who know him best wonder which Henry Hyde...
...goes as planned, Deep Space 1, scheduled for launch later this month, will be the forerunner of a new generation of spacecraft. While flight planners hope the ship will make some interesting observations about the target asteroid, including its composition and the structure of its surface, DS1's prime assignment is to validate a host of new technologies NASA had always considered too risky to try on a high-profile mission. Says Marc Rayman of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, DS1's chief engineer: "We have an unproven propulsion system, powered by an unproven solar array, commanded by an unproven navigation system...
...Madness on the Couch, Edward Dolnick, a veteran science writer for Health magazine and The Boston Globe, explores how Rosen-type therapists saturated the psychoanalytic profession with bad science, unearned hubris and treatment that was patently dangerous to patients and families. Dolnick does not launch into a diatribe against all forms of psychotherapy. Although psychotherapy can be effective for treating neuroses (relatively benign emotional disorders), Dolnick targets psychoanalysts who tried to cure psychoses (marked disorders of perception or reality) with talk therapy alone. From the 1940s to the 1970s an aggressive cabal of psychoanalysts fit such a bill; they scoffed...
...President Khatami has been trying to avoid being drawn into a shooting war, but hard-liners have been egging it on," says McGeary. And the fact that the hard-liners control the army makes it difficult for Khatami to keep a lid on things. But even if Iran does launch punitive strikes, its military knows better than to be drawn into the quagmire of an actual invasion of Afghanistan -- Mikhail Gorbachev is living proof of how much that does for one's domestic political standing...
