...galaxy was first located by its radio waves, then confirmed visually at the Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, appearing as a faint, fuzzy object. A computer-enhanced photograph shows the galaxy as a brightly colored, amoeba-shaped mass. Next, the scientists determined the distance of the galaxy by taking an optical spectrum that revealed what one team member, Kenneth Chambers of Johns Hopkins University, calls cosmic fingerprints -- emission lines with sharp features characteristic of hydrogen and carbon. In distant galaxies, these lines occur at much redder wavelengths than those emitted by the same elements on earth; this so-called...

Either candidate will do well to remember that the object of the law is not to keep foreign products out but to make sure that American goods can compete...
...pats, flips and blips. These are names Katie and Bruce invented. Then it is on to frizzlies and scritches, bumpillies and square-illies, name-illies and picture-illies, initiallies and real, which is the real back rub. When Bruce does a picture-illie, for example, his finger draws an object on her back. "Then I imagine it all in my head," says Katie. It can be as simple as a waterfall...
