Some students have already purchased non-refundable plane tickets for the fall. Others may have trouble scheduling arrival between the house opening date, Sept. 10 and upperclass student registration on Sept. 12, a Friday...

It's that they were lobbed so many thousands of light-years above the galactic plane, like water droplets scattered by a giant geyser. Scientists offered several competing explanations last week. Rice University astrophysicist Edison Liang thinks black holes may be the key. While most of the stuff that falls into a black hole stays there, he observes, some of it gets blasted out in the form of a hot wind. Liang's hypothesis draws strength from the fact that there appear to be a good half a dozen...

National Guardsmen will continue looking for the four 500-pound bombs the plane was carrying. But officials say that deep snow may have erased so many clues that they may never know why Button's plane left formation to fly 800 miles off course before crashing...
