...Achilles heel has always been liftoff, and the dangers posed by massive fuel load involved. Reentry has, of course, always been a difficult part of the space program. But this is, in fact, our first fatal accident on reentry. Apollo 13 is remembered as our most difficult ever reentry, but the ship and crew survived. The Soviets lost a crew on reentry in 1970 after an oxygen leak that caused the cosmonauts to suffocate on the way down. Reentry is a very difficult process, but the Russians mastered it in 1961 and we did the same a few years later...
...unappetizing €4.4 billion stock offer from supermarketer William Morrison that Safeway no longer supports. Three bigger retailing rivals - Tesco, Sainsbury and Wal-Mart - are likely to encounter serious anti-trust obstacles if they make bids, bankers say, and the two financial bidders, KKR and Philip Green, would load the retailer up with debt.

The TIME survey suggests that population has since increased--registering year-over-year jumps in either 2001 or 2002 (see graphic for individual cities). These families...
...largely by loans which HUDS assumes. Decisions are made collaboratively with the University to balance academic and physical plant priorities, and to coordinate our projects with the overall goals of the University. Further, we abide by the University’s standards for what constitutes an acceptable debt load. All these factors are weighted against costs of borrowing and costs of construction, which have respectively varied greatly from project to project during this time of rapid economic change. Analysis of our current situation told us that advancing the renovation schedule would have been an imprudent burden...
...Soviet regime collapsed, so did governmental control. Today poachers supply some 300 tons of caviar per year, 10 times as much as legal traders. The temptations are great in a region where economic opportunities are scarce. In a typical bust, smugglers in the Russian county of Astrakhan managed to load an air-force cargo plane with almost 350 kilograms of sturgeon roe before it was seized by the Federal Security Service...
