...TIME analysis of federal tax-return data raises questions. Let's look at two four-year periods, before and after Intel's massive Rio Rancho project...
...hate to be the skunk at the picnic--or rather, the great national celebration that attended the return of John Glenn to space. But amid all the high-fiving about how wonderful and glorious it was, we seem to have glossed over the fact that on that beautiful Thursday morning we sent the same man on the same trip he made 36 years ago. It is as if we had a great big back-slapping national jamboree at Kitty Hawk in 1939 to watch the Wright brothers skim the sand in a new biplane...

But comets eventually swing back on their orbit and return, whereas Pollock was a singular and not a cyclic event, more like a meteor that plows into the earth and wreaks havoc on its climate, filling art's air with fallout.

...chance of that. Right now, it?s still all Glenn, all the time down in Houston. More than a thousand residents packed an airport hangar to cheer the two-time astronaut?s return Saturday; on Wednesday, the city will throw a parade in his honor. And you?d be hard-pressed to find a reporter with space stations on his mind at the Discovery press conference. How did Senator Glenn feel? "Ninety-five or 98 percent back to normal," he said. Does he have a message for the elder generation? "Don?t sit on a couch someplace, that...
