...pace and new insights emerging. University of Virginia psychiatrist Bruce Greyson reported recently on a tantalizing investigation into whether the observations people claim to make during an NDE (details of their resuscitation, the color of a nurse's shoes) are in fact accurate. Meanwhile, University of Kentucky neurophysiologist Kevin Nelson theorizes that NDEs are what can happen when a particular sleep state intrudes on the imperiled brain. "I wouldn't say it's definitive," says Nelson. "But it's an intriguing hypothesis that answers a great deal...
Maponya himself says that, while others fought the system, he simply worked it - to make it work for him, and Soweto. "Nelson and the others, they sacrificed themselves, their jobs and their lives for our freedom. My contribution was small. I wasn't locked up. But I was undermining the regime. I was exposing them.

...rise and rise of Richard Maponya is a lesson in how there is more than one way to fight a revolution.

...them caving in to the DNC. For one thing, the costs and logistics of arranging a separate, later primary election look prohibitive.

And Geller says he even plans to urge Democratic donors in Florida, one of the country's most lucrative sources of political cash, to boycott the national party and keep their funds...
...jeopardize the International Space Station and the Hubble Telescope, which are serviced by shuttles, and potentially cost the nation thousands of space-related jobs and, less tangibly but still importantly, the loss of national pride. "The management is much different than it was four years ago," Florida Sen. Bill Nelson assured TIME. "I think they have the toughness if they have to make the tough decisions." The old NASA style, harshly critiqued by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board and summed up by Nelson as "arrogant," was susceptible to scheduling and political pressures, but easily and disastrously shrugged off safety concerns...
