This nascent outward-bound movement even has its own magazine, Transitions Abroad, which for several years has been targeted at American college students who want to work overseas. Founder and editor Clayton Hubbs, 58, takes it for granted that campus hunger for foreign-job information is surging. "I would make a guess that the numbers of those going abroad have increased between 10% to 25% over the past five years," he says.

Ideas and style statements that 40 years ago might have languished for a while in jazz clubs and coffeehouses now move in nanoseconds from the dance clubs and gangsta corners. Through MTV and the trendier magazines, and whatever other express routes the mass media command, they get passed over to mass-marketers who shear off the rough edges and ship them to the malls.

...missions never go entirely as planned. "As we know when we do things for the first time in space, things can go wrong," says Swiss crew member Claude Nicollier, an astronaut from the European Space Agency who will be controlling a 50-ft.-long mechanical arm that will extend outward from Endeavour and move spacewalkers around the Hubble. Planners remain concerned about how fatigued the astronauts will become during their long stints working on the satellite. To be on the safe side, NASA added an extra day to the mission in case astronauts need a day off to rest...
