...best woman distance swimmer the world has ever seen is lean and serene these days, digging cheerfully just now into her between-workouts morning diet supplement of--yes, cholesterol enthusiasts--hash-brown potatoes. And a fried egg, over easy. And a couple of griddle cakes, each the size of a catcher's mitt. All of which will jiggle around the middle of her breakfast companion, who's having the same.

"There've been times when I was receiving no salary at all." Despite the travails, however, Shoemaker is confident that improving technology will enable astronomers, even at the current level of funding, to identify perhaps 50% of the NEOs in the next decade...
