...expected to be completed early next century. The six- hour spacewalk had an element of danger as Atlantis was docked to Mir and could not immediately dash after Godwin or Clifford in the unlikely event that their tether broke.

Also, the hatches between shuttle Atlantis and Mir were closed prior to the spacewalk to allow for a quick shuttle getaway in the unlikely event that a tether broke and the jet pack failed. Atlantis will depart Mir on Thursday, leaving astronaut Shannon Lucid...
...Dole's path is a dangerous one. In his perfect legislative world, he could calibrate bills so cleverly, pack them so guilefully, that he would look good if Clinton signed and Clinton would look bad if he didn't.

He must reckon with a possibly uncooperative House, led by fractious freshmen who suspect Dole of selling out and last week pleaded with Dick Armey...

...with all the material covered by the class, it's difficult to jam-pack everything into one afternoon a week...
