...cases, subjected to more aggressive searches than ordinary passengers. An airline captain told TIME that while in uniform and on his way to a flight, he had to remove articles of clothing, and once he even had the lining pulled out of his suitcase. "Pilots can't complain or object because our airlines will discipline us or even fire us," he said. "As a pilot, the public trusts my skills, character and judgment to keep them safe, but it's becoming an ordeal even to get to the plane." Airport security most likely will only get tougher. To meet...
...asteroid was detected only two weeks before it flew by. If it had been headed toward impact, those in the target area would have had barely enough time to write their wills. Eleanor Helin, whose Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking group discovered the asteroid, estimates that, on average, one object the size of 2001 YB5 or larger passes close by annually; many such asteroids are undetected.

In one of the more goofball episodes, "Blue Bunny," a violent cartoon rabbit echoes a stuffed animal seen on the previous page...
...Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy," said F. Scott Fitzgerald. On the morning of Sept. 11, primary day in New York City, Rudy Giuliani was paddling along with all the other lame ducks into oblivion. The tower of strength had become an object of pity: the iron man's cancer made him vulnerable, the righteous man's adultery made him hypocritical, the loyal man's passions?for his city and its cops and its streets and its ballplayers?divided the city even as he improved it. After abandoning Gracie Mansion, his marriage in flames...
