...wonder if Carl Sagan lives in outer space. He talks about distances between galaxies, stars, planets, as if he commutes between them. He is a genius. He is to astronomy what Einstein is to physics and what Pythagoras is to mathematics...
...Arthur Avenue, however, the scene suddenly changes--four large blocks of vacant land covered with overgrown weeds mark the outer boundary of Belmont. But here Logue has received federal fundings for the construction of 66 owner-occupied homes to be sold with various subsidies to lower-middle-class people.

They say two common vision problems-near- and farsightedness (myopia and hyperopia)-can be corrected or eased with surgery that reshapes the cornea, the eye's outer covering...

As with most environmental issues, the battle over the coast pits those who would exploit it further against those who would stop fiddling altogether with the littoral and its complex system of wetlands and estuaries. The need for growth...
