...repeated applause, that reporters should voluntarily refrain from coverage that could boost terrorists' morale. In an obvious reference to last month's televised news conferences and interviews with American hostages in Beirut, Thatcher observed, "We must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend...
...lengthy and complex manned voyage. At its closest point, Mars is 35 million miles from earth, or 160 times the distance of the moon. A hypothetical round trip, including a Mars layover, would take two to three years and require a craft that with the requisite fuel, oxygen, solid food and other "consumables" might weigh 500 tons. From ten to 20 shuttle trips would be needed just to ferry to the space station the pieces that would eventually be assembled into a Mars ship...
Once on Mars, crew members could extract the traces of water that still exist in the atmosphere; the water could even be broken into its constituent oxygen (for breathing) and hydrogen (for fuel). Given the planet's abundant supply of carbon dioxide, greenhouse gardening should be possible during subsequent, longer stays...
More than 15 years after she suffered cardiac arrest (from a potassium imbalance that may have been caused by an eating disorder), which deprived her brain of oxygen and left her in what most doctors have diagnosed as a persistent vegetative state, Schiavo has become a cause célèbre for the right-to-life movement.

When his brothers were told three months later that Tighe was in a persistent vegetative state, they mentally replayed conversations they had had about death four years earlier, after another brother had been shot and killed. "We all said...
