...only two individuals, compared to PBH's 10, and it was not a separate parallel structure. In fact, the Mather Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) program, which was larger than all of the other of the house-based programs combined, joined PBHA to ensure that duplication would not occur. In addition, although the report supposedly sought to address the "divide" between PBH and non-PBH structures, the review failed to consult any students involved in HAND, CityStep, or FUP as to what effect these changes might have on their programs...
Trainor predicted there will be little resistance from the warring factions, but some casualties are likely to occur from vehicle accidents, mines and snipers. He said the casualties should not deter American involvement, however...
Thompson may not get his wish--and the spills and explosions are likely to occur farther and farther north of the border. The poorly supervised Mexican trucks already roam a 15-mile zone in southern Texas.

At that instant, a signal that will have been sent from the spacecraft 52 minutes earlier will arrive at J.P.L., having traveled 600 million miles at the speed of light. "A positive signal means the probe has survived the most difficult entry ever and is transmitting to Galileo," explains William O'Neil, the Galileo project manager. "That pretty much says...
