...toughest job on this mission? That probably would be Marsha Ivins, the veteran astronaut who will use the shuttle's robotic arm to lift the 28-foot Destiny module from the shuttle's payload bay and move it into position on the space-station. Ivins will have only about two inches of clearance as she lifts the silver cylinder from its berth, then she has to rotate it, flip it over 180 degrees and put it in its place. Once that's done, she retrieves a docking port from where she previously parked it and puts it on Destiny...
...last non-conference game of the season Monday night, Harvard needed a buzzer-beating lay-up by Harvey to lift the Crimson past the Hawks, imitating his heroics from Harvard's bout at home against Dartmouth earlier in the season.

Sequined jump suits, frayed vests and a receptive public passed them by long ago, but THE JACKSONS have decided to strike while they can still lift the iron, announcing plans for a third reunion album. Tito, Marlon and Jackie didn't need much convincing, and by the time Jermaine spread the news on a Las Vegas radio station, a publicist had confirmed that Michael would join in for a few songs as well, though he won't commit to a tour. In addition to finishing a solo album, Michael has a self-help career aborning. On Valentine...
