...lean 210 pounds) leads the Terriers in sacks with five. Do you think he likes to blitz? He is also second on the squad in tackles. Dennis Carson leads the squad in tackles with 90. And with Pat Faucette at the other linebacking spot, this group seems leak-proof...
...sixties, Eddie Adams photographed Nguyen Ngoc Loan as he pulled a trigger inches from a Vietcong prisoner's head. Images of war's ravages in the Middle East, the deadly effects of the Union Carbide gas leak in Bhopal, India, and the Challenger explosion have all been presented to the public eye. Our heart strings have been pulled, but our limits may have been reached. Larry Burrows, a war photographer who covered the Vietnam War, said it best: "What's the hardest thing of all? It's to keep feeling. Yet if you feel too much... you'd crack...

All week NASA technicians had isolated small glitches, from a tiny gas leak on a main engine to a slight scratch on a thruster rocket. Finally they seemed confident that only bad weather might postpone the shuttle's launch. Although launch day dawned bright and sunny, meteorologists warned that the high-altitude winds in the shuttle's flight path, normally unruly in the Cape Canaveral region during late September, had uncharacteristically died down. The problem: Discovery's computers had been programmed to maneuver the craft...

Massive solid-fuel booster rockets like those on the shuttle must undergo a critical test, scheduled for Aug. 20 at the Morton Thiokol facility in Utah; the failure of a seal on a booster was responsible for the Challenger disaster. In addition, Discovery has a pressure-vent-line leak in one of its orbital maneuvering system engine pods, which came to light several weeks ago. NASA says repairs to the OMS pod, which involve cutting through a bulkhead, could delay the launch anywhere from a week to two months. NASA insists that the repairs and continuing caution during...
