...rattled, and my three dogs started barking." What Sotkajarvi apparently saw in the early afternoon of Dec. 28 was a runaway cruise missile fired from either a submarine or a ship during Soviet naval maneuvers in the Barents Sea, northeast of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Norwegian radar tracked the supersonic object as it crossed the Pasvik River on the Soviet-Norwegian border; it headed southwest toward Lake Inari in Finland, where it disappeared...
...absence of beauty, for example, could be the major problem of modern life. Most aestheticians have decided that a sense of beauty requires a perceived harmony or integrity both within the object and between the object and ourselves. The form and function of a glum, glass office building may be adequate to the financial needs of the Glum & Glass Corp., but the structure offends and dispirits the employees, who work in airless boxes, as well as those outside the building who are forced to see the thing. "Has there ever been another place on earth where so many people...
...FACTS. Any kind, but do get them in. They are what we look for--a name, a place, an allusion, an object, a brand of deodorant, the titles of six poems in a row, even an occasional date. This, son, makes for interesting (if effortless) reading and that is what gets A's. Underline them, capitalize them, inset them in outline form: be sure we don't miss them.

...object to his caricaturing of the Religious Right. His implication that the pro-life movement does not care to make it easy on pregnant women is false. The latest issue of the Moral Majority Report carries an article calling on all pro-lifers to remember their duty to help the pregnant mother through her time of troubles with outreaches of charity and compassion. Mr. Gooen should visit the number of pro-life clinics here in the Boston area, such as Daybreak, or at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, to see the compassion that is offered to women undergoing the pain...
Swinging within about 55 million miles of the sun every 76 years, Halley's comet has been an object of awe since what may have been the first reported sighting, by Chinese astronomers in 240 B.C. But when this cosmic snowball of ice and dust-with a nucleus between 3 and 6 miles across and a tail millions of miles long-streaks across the sky in 1986, it will be greeted for the first time by five spacecraft. In the vanguard of an international effort to study the comet, the Soviet Union recently launched two 4.5-ton unmanned space...
