...even older legal guidelines. The laws of the high seas, for example, call for freedom of navigation even while they allow nations to exploit specific areas for commercial, scientific, and-in the case of nuclear tests-military purposes. Maritime laws generally use "reasonableness" as the criterion for how much benefit one nation may derive from the sea-a standard that will probably apply when the question arises of how big a slice of the moon the U.S. can claim for scientific use. Spacefaring nations may also turn to Antarctica for legal precedents. There, all states involved in exploration have ruled...
...well-connected royal appointee ruling one of the crown's dozens of far-flung colonies in style. Throughout the tropics of Asia and Africa, governors-general sweated through noontime heat in white-plumed hats and braided uniforms, lived in white palaces called Government House and spent much of their time hobnobbing with maharajahs, sheiks and local princelings...

After her first son's ill-starred attempts at a racing career, though, she had no intention of letting Jackie get behind the wheel. The young man did not much care; he was too busy pursuing his first love-trap shooting. "I put more effort into it than I put now into my racing," he recalls. Between 1957 and 1962 he won the Irish, Welsh, English and British champion ships and was named as a substitute to the British Olympic...
