...very funny place inside the remnant," Kirshner says he noticed that chemicals released during the star's explosion which should have mixed together over the last four millenia were in fact still separated in space--as if they didn't have the time to mix yet. They discoved this by using several different filters when photographing the supernova, which bring out the separate bands of the elements, Kirshner says. "It still bears the imprint of" a more recent explosion than most data from Puppis A reveals...
...that filches its economic policies from the 1920s, its deco furniture from the '30s, its favorite movies from the '40s, its short haircuts from the '50s, its dirty- dancing music from the '60s and its galloping egotism from the '70s, why shouldn't the flashiest tour in Los Angeles mix camp nostalgia with giddy grave robbing? And why shouldn't a necromantic like Greg Smith, Grave Line's ! "director of undertakings" and occasional tour guide, make some clean money washing his Forest Lawndry in public?

Sajak and Hall are avoiding at least one mistake made by their predecessors: trying to be too different. Thicke of the Night attempted an offbeat mix of comedy and talk but misfired badly.

Local residents can be encouraged to earn a livelihood in the more robust areas, while habitats that are fragile can be protected. Sustainable development can proceed, noted Kenneth Piddington, director of the environmental department of the World Bank, "right up to a park's boundary...
...monumental measures. In the U.S. the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the cost of protecting developed coastal areas could reach $111 billion. Southern Louisiana, which is losing land to the Gulf of Mexico at the alarming rate of one acre every 16 minutes, has already drawn up an ambitious mix of programs. In the biggest project, a $24 million pumping station would divert millions of gallons of silt-rich Mississippi River water onto the coastline to help stop saltwater intrusion and to supply sediment that will build up the eroding land. At least one parish is considering plans...
