...team's defense, though, was another matter. Harvard gave up 397 yards total offense after allowing only 220 in last year's game. The Lions, paced by 255-pound junior fullback John Harper (17-77) and 245-pound junior tailback Marcellus Wiley (9-49), mustered 223 yards on the ground alone...
...crafts factory, Rodriguez still keeps a big photo of Cienfuegos on the wall. "I believe in the revolution. I have confidence in the revolution," she says softly. "I understand that the economic situation is bad, but we eat better now than when I was young. If there is a pound of rice, it is equally shared by all. Anyone can go to the hospital and get an aspirin or an organ transplant without anybody asking them for money. That's why I'm still a revolutionary...
Russia, facing a mounting outcry to keep its weapons-grade plutonium under tighter control, said it had arrested smugglers on its own soil. Police said they had detained three men Aug.12 in Kaliningrad, a western outpost on the Polish border, after they tried to sell a 132-pound container of the radioactive material for $1 million.

Another barrier to sending robots to the planets is weight: every pound you launch into space is expensive. At nearly a ton, Dante II would break the bank. Whittaker is already thinking about lighter models, though. And while NASA's Lavery cautions that Dante II is still "far from any sort of flight opportunity," he acknowledges that much of the technology used aboard Dante II will probably find its way into future space missions. In fact, NASA wants to launch a robot explorer toward Mars as early as 1996. And a private company working with Carnegie Mellon scientists hopes...
...witnesses, either firsthand or at the remove of film or TV, must supply their own contexts to make sense of what they are seeing. Faced with something new in their visual experiences, they are likely to jump to questionable conclusions. After watching three comet fragments pound, at around 130,000 m.p.h., into Jupiter's dense atmosphere, Steve Maran, an understandably elated NASA astronomer, called the sight "the greatest one-two-three punch of all time." Meanwhile, Filippo Grandi, director of emergency aid for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, surveyed the unimaginable conditions around Goma, % the sleepy Zairean border town...
