...dark skies building to the west, and people smarter than I started leaving. Shortly after 2, a wild cloud formation appeared about half a mile to the west. Great white fingers developed from the left and right and flowed quickly toward a black, horizontally rolling cloud, which lifted to reveal a huge, whirling black vortex coming straight at me. I threw myself to the ground but couldn't help watching. The outside of the tornado was spinning so fast my eye couldn't follow it, but the inside was rotating almost lazily. I could see a thousand feet up inside...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: The amount of ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere fell for the first time in 1995, according to report to be published Friday in the journal Science. Ground-level measurements several sites worldwide reveal a very slight drop in the presence of chloroflurocarbons and other ozone-depleting atmospheric compounds containing chlorine and bromine. The ground-level decline could lead to a recovery of upper atmosphere ozone levels within a few years when the cleaner air has circulated into the stratosphere. TIME senior science writer Michael Lemonick says the trend is a direct result of international agreements like...
Zyuganov can be enigmatic and vague when it suits his purposes, but his books and articles reveal a moral absolutist who sees Russia in a death struggle with the U.S. When George Bush spoke of a new world order, Zyuganov labeled the idea "geopolitical sabotage," nothing but a plot to "establish the West's global supremacy."

That has prompted some U.N. officials to suggest privately that Israel knew exactly what it was doing: it bombed the mortar site first, then deliberately aimed the airburst shells at the compound in the hopes of nailing the fighters. Van Kappen's monograph did not go so far as to make this accusation explicit--although the U.S., which fears that the report may jeopardize a new agreement to contain the war between Israel and Hizballah...
...nothing else, Babel Tower suggests a reason that not very much thrilling fiction has been written about the workings of education committees. Byatt's interests here are more philological than dramatic. All her various plots underscore the mixed blessings of language, its power to obscure as well as reveal, to enslave as well as liberate. The subject is certainly worthy but not perhaps sufficiently vivid to propel readers through a long, long literary haul. Byatt writes beautifully, and passages of this novel come to brilliant life. But the net effect of the whole, as opposed to the parts, seems...
