...solve these and other puzzles, many scientists have moved beyond their computer models and headed into the field to collect real data. Last week Martin Ralph, a climatologist with NOAA's Environmental Technology Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., spent 25 hours in a P-3 "hurricane hunter" aircraft, flying into the teeth of a Pacific storm to measure temperature, wind and humidity. His goal: to figure out precisely how such storms build, move and interact with the coastline. Along with data from more than a dozen other NOAA experiments, Ralph's information will be fed back into the computer models...
Even now, however, it's not hard to find Democrats around Washington who scoff at the idea of Ken Starr as the right-wing avenger. "Not the Ken Starr I know," says Alan B. Morrison, who co-founded the Public Citizen Litigation Group with Ralph Nader, and has often argued before Starr's court.

...workers--have the distribution pull to get to Asia, and they're becoming players on the domestic scene. Positano, which is only two years old and still without a marketing staff or advertising budget, can be found in the Beverly Hills Macy's, smack between Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. Ecko, which started selling clothes in 1995 from a two-story walkup in Manhattan's Washington Heights, had no department-store distribution when it grossed $36 million last year and was commissioned to design a 20-piece collection for The Lost World. But more than half the new street labels...
