...SOLAR SYSTEM: NASA scientists are warning satellite operators and power companies to prepare for a large-scale geomagnetic storm that may be capable of disrupting telecommunications and power grids. A major solar eruption on Monday sent more than a million tons of ionized particles hurtling outward; the solar wind should wash over the Earth Wednesday night and Thursday. The eruption was first recorded two days ago by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a two year old satellite stationed in solar orbit. Astronomers credit a similar storm with knocking out a $200 million AT&T communications satellite in January. Though solar...

"It is a measure of Albright's diplomatic training," says Gibbs, "that she was able to get through a two-hour dinner without betraying much outward sign of all that she was juggling." While the two women covered a wide range of subjects, Albright's press aide, Jamie Rubin, was called to the phone so often that he managed to swallow only a few bites of his dinner. The new Secretary of State, Gibbs noticed, generously...
