Anniversaries are television's most annoying bad habit. No TV series, it seems, can pass a milestone ending in zero (Barbara Walters' 50th special, Sesame Street's 20th season) without leading us on a forced march down Memory Lane. Now, saints preserve us, the 50th anniversary of TV itself has arrived -- at least by one measure. On April 20, 1939, RCA formally introduced the modern system of TV broadcasting at the New York World's Fair.

If the giant clump of rock -- half a mile across by one estimate -- had hit the planet, it would have packed the wallop of thousands of H-bombs and possibly killed millions of people...
...asteroid, called 1989FC in accord with the official numbering system of the International Astronomical Union, was first detected by Henry Holt, an adjunct professor of geology at Northern Arizona University. That was in late March, after it was already moving safely away from earth. Holt spotted the speeding intruder in photographs taken through an 18-in. telescope at the Palomar Observatory in Southern California, during a systematic search for asteroids passing close by, which scientists call earth grazers. Holt figures that 1989FC may be in Hermes' league, but other astronomers dispute the claim, saying the new asteroid may be only...
