...missions to Mars. The first, the Mars Global Surveyor, is an orbiter that will arrive in September 1997 and spend at least four months circling the planet and mapping its geology and climate. Despite its small size (10 ft. tall; 2,300 lbs.), the spacecraft carries quite an instrument load, including magnetometers to measure magnetic fields, a laser altimeter that can gauge the height of surface features to within 30 ft., and optical cameras that can detect objects as small...
Disgusting food- and flatulence-related humor do not much lighten this load. Neither do jokes about sexual misunderstanding. One is left wondering why Williams has granted early retirement to his inner anarchist, what dark need compels a great clown to become a sad, fuzzy one in movies only Bob Dole--faking it--could love...

Ralph's brother Emmett was on much sounder footing until his son Richard, enthralled by Ralph's antigovernment rhetoric, convinced Emmett he didn't have to make any more tax or mortgage payments. Ralph's and Emmett's farms were foreclosed in 1994. The renegade Clarks convened their own supreme court and began issuing subpoenas to and posting bounties on elected officials, lawyers and bankers connected to the foreclosures. They...
