Less than three minutes later, the troublesome tandem would strike again. This time St. Louis passed the puck to Vermont defenseman Jonathan Sorg at the right point. Sorg launched a rocket of a shot which Perrin tipped into the upper right hand corner of the goal...
From its first attack in 1982, the group has leaned toward urban terrorism, much of it aimed at the U.S. It hurled a rocket-propelled grenade at the American embassy, lobbed mortars at the U.S. ambassador's residence and bombed several Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in Lima. Those acts initially imbued the guerrillas with an aura somewhere between Robin Hood mystique and radical chic.

...certain where the water came from, though a collision with an icy comet is likely. Just as important as the origin of the ice is its future. "Settlers could break the water into oxygen and hydrogen and turn them into rocket fuel and air," suggests Dunston. And as for the possibility of ice-dwelling organisms? Not likely. Water may help sustain life, but at nearly 400[degrees] below, it couldn't get started in the first place...
...probe crashed harmlessly in the South Pacific. But don't stop looking up yet: the earth's skies remain heavily laden with space junk. In the next 60 days, the U.S. Space Command estimates, four orbiting objects possibly large enough to survive re-entry will come tumbling down--two rocket bodies (one U.S., one Russian), a Russian payload platform and a Chinese satellite. Don't worry. So far, 16,000 human-made objects have re-entered the atmosphere in the nearly 40 years the agency has tracked them. "Almost all have burned up during re-entry," says Colonel Marc Dinerstein...
