Avoiding combat. For Pat Robertson, March 8 marks not only Super Tuesday but also the date his libel suit against Pete McCloskey is scheduled to go to trial. Robertson is suing McCloskey for claiming that he sought help from his father Senator A. Willis Robertson to avoid combat duty in Korea. A review of evidence collected by McCloskey's lawyers reveals that Robertson may be in for a blitzkrieg of bad publicity. Several fellow Marine officers corroborate McCloskey's claim, and a letter from Robertson's father to Marine General Lemuel Shepherd expresses his pleasure that Pat "will get more...
...nonetheless relying on the E word as a big part of their pitch, arguing that they can make it in November by reaching beyond their core supporters.

At Boston's Josiah Quincy School, Pat Keohane's first- graders play an animated game of hangman, filling in seven blanks that form the word cumulus. In Pittsburgh local Meteorologist Brian Sussman creates mini-planetariums for fifth-graders by piercing the shape of the Big Dipper on the bottom of plastic cups. In a fifth-grade classroom at the Hillside School in Needham, Mass., students think up celestial similes: trees become the "roots of the sky"; sunlight is "butter pouring through a hole...
