...telescope they've always wanted." American Express is offering a $799 telescope "for Halley's comet and beyond," which can be paid for in monthly installments of $39.95. Burton Rubin, who made a fortune in the '70s on his E-Z Wider cigarette-rolling papers, hopes for a repeat performance from his $200 Halleyscope, a wide-angle telescope that comes equipped with a tripod and Halley's comet handbook. He has already sold 10,000 Halleyscopes and expects to sell 50,000 more by the end of the year. Many astronomers point out, however, that a good pair of binoculars...

...Your report on the class of '05 tragically illustrates how history tends to repeat itself. Today another young, idealistic generation is being fed into a vague, brutal war machine by an arrogant, self-righteous U.S. Administration. Forty years ago, the West Point classes of the '60s were sent to Southeast Asia to fight an equally vague, brutal war, ostensibly to promote freedom in that region. Many of us who served there came back scarred and maimed, and others did not return at all. The aims of our "glorious cause" were never achieved. May fate be kinder to the class...

...risk now is that history will repeat itself. Responding to the crisis of the 1990s was made immensely difficult by Pyongyang's secrecy. By the time the extent of starvation was known by the outside world, it was too late. Significant U.S. food aid didn't arrive until late 1997, when the famine had already peaked. The specter of emaciated North Korean children once again threatens to complicate efforts to maintain stability on the peninsula. Trying to pressure North Korea by cutting off aid has in the past had little apparent effect on Pyongyang's policies and tactics...
