...very laid-back, so easy to get alongwith," said Linda Moon '99, who lived upstairsform Okrent as a first-year in Lionel Hall's Bentryway...
...week's end space scientists were buzzing about fresh confirmation of year-old evidence that there is a dusting of polar ice on the moon--ice that could help a community of astronauts survive. Almost lost in the excitement was news from a far more distant and far wetter world. According to the crispest images yet from the Galileo Jupiter probe, there is more reason than ever to think that beneath the icy skin of the Jovian moon Europa there lies a warm, amniotic sea in which heat, moisture and organic chemicals may have already allowed life to take hold...
...evidence comes from a Europa flyby in which Galileo barnstormed the little moon at an altitude of just a few hundred miles. Soaring over a region known as the Conamara Chaos, the spacecraft photographed an area in which the moon's thin skin of ice appears to have buckled as a result of turbulent water moving just beneath the frozen crust. The crumpling gave the ice a washboard topography made up of a series of parallel cliffs, each the size of Mount Rushmore. Elsewhere the spacecraft spotted bright crustal fractures crisscrossing older, darker ones, suggesting that the ice is being...
...issued the asteroid alert that set a million hearts beating faster Thursday, looks pretty foolish today. New information from NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory suggests that the mile-wide rock of doom, known as 1997 XF11, will pass a comfortable 600,000 miles, or more than two moon orbits, from the earth -- not the tight and potentially catastrophic 30,000-mile squeeze that Marsden suggested. ?It?s all in a day?s work,? said JPL scientist Don Yeomans -- who also stopped just short of accusing Marsden and the International Astronomical Union of scaremongering. ?Why did they put out a press...
...Untold adventure awaits him. He is the man who will land on the moon, cure cancer and the common cold, lay out blight-proof, smog-free cities, enrich the underdeveloped world and, no doubt, write finis to poverty and war. With his skeptical yet humanistic outlook, his disdain for fanaticism and his scorn for the spurious, the Man of the Year suggests that he will infuse the future with a new sense of morality." --Jan. 6, 1967, from Man of the Year profile of the "25 and Under" generation...
