Staten is trying to rectify that. In the process of helping the bush vets, he has learned that theirs is a well-traveled path. When Roman Legionnaires returned from war, they were encouraged to settle in rural areas where they could decompress quietly. Japanese literature tells of samurai retiring to tend the "perfect garden." For many of these men, the island of Hawaii is that perfect garden, or as Staten calls it, the "gentle jungle." Says Cowan: "It is like a sanctuary. I trust my emotions and feelings here...
Despite the different records, both teams travelled the same path in the Boston Garden. And as the only Harvard teams to do so in the '80s, these two squads bracket an era of Harvard hockey which can never be repeated, as Harvard followed dismal 1981 by reaching six of the next seven NCAA tournaments, culminating in the 1989 championship...
...taxing? No borrowing? That prospect raised the concern that the money may have to come from cash-starved social programs. But that path could prove ruinous at a time when 29 deficit-ridden states are unable to provide adequate financing for such vital needs as education, housing and police protection. The cost of two days of fighting surpasses the $937 million that Congress voted last year for aid to the homeless. Meanwhile, demands on the budget are swiftly growing. Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady warned last week that the savings and loan bailout will require $77 billion more in emergency funds...
...secret of the Tomahawk's precision flying is a two-step guidance system. First, a radar altimeter compares the topography of key landmarks along the missile's flight path with detailed contour maps stored in its computer memory. Then, as the Tomahawk approaches its target, a small digital camera, acting as an electronic eye, compares the view from the nose cone with a library of images prepared from satellite photos. If the missile sees that it is even slightly off course, it makes adjustments...
...danger with any endeavor so dependent on advanced electronics and jewel- like engineering is that when such systems encounter unexpected trouble they usually do not just slow down; they crash. The Pentagon has not shown any TV pictures of "smart" bombs flying a perfect path into the side of a camel. But as the Scud hits have demonstrated, mistakes do happen. One aircraft expert says the desert sand has wreaked havoc with the British Tornado jets, lodging in the turbine engine blades and melting into glass. If blades on U.S. jets are faring better, it may be because enginemakers imported...
