...suggested breaking it down into smaller units. One such station, the Industrial Space Facility, has already been designed by a Houston firm, Space Industries Inc. At $900 million, it could be launched by 1994 and take over most of the Freedom station's proposed experiments in space manufacturing. Another mini-station could handle biomedical studies, and others could be used as assembly and takeoff points for the Mars and subsequent missions. Just as with the moon base, these stations would operate indefinitely. Being smaller and less complicated than Freedom, the mini- stations could presumably be launched and built...
...headlines: the thrust of the story was that there had been a cover-up within the U.S. Government. That allegation is at the heart of Moscow Station, a book by Ronald Kessler, a former Washington Post reporter.

Johnny Carson, who slides easily from Doc's wardrobe to Noriega's goon squads in his Tonight show monologues, has long been TV's most reliable barometer of what Middle America thinks about the issues of the day. But now Johnny is just one of a late-night crowd. Jay Leno, Carson...
