...Plenty. No obscenities, obviously, but also no competitors. Reebok, Adidas, Converse, Fila and DKNY are out (though you can use Hilfiger and FCUK). Otherwise, the censorship seems arbitrary. You can have Chevy or Mercedes on your sneakers but not Ford, Saturn or Volvo. Strangely, Nike also banned the word Jordan--and the word TIME...
...games available. Equally important, Sega introduced it with savvy marketing. That is a turnaround for a company that in 1989 was No. 1 in the gaming business but has since been steadily slipping, barely hanging on to third place with only 1% market share. Sega botched its 1995 Saturn rollout by alienating software developers and retailers with poor support and imperious directives. Sony has dominated the industry since introducing its successful PlayStation in 1995. Worldwide ownership should top 70 million units by year's end, mostly because Sony's coddled software artists have created an exclusive cornucopia of more than...
Closing in at 42,500 m.p.h., one of the largest and most complex spacecraft ever built will pass only 725 miles from Earth Tuesday on its way to a 2004 rendezvous with Saturn, its spectacular rings and its giant moon, Titan. The ship is Cassini, and while it's an object of pride for space scientists, it's an object of fear for antinuclear activists. Weighing in at around six tons at its launch in October 1997, Cassini lacked the rocket power to fly directly out to Saturn, which is on average 800 million miles from Earth. Instead it headed...
...doctors scoff at such claims. Any plutonium vaporized in an accident, they explain, would be so diluted in the atmosphere that it would pose no real threat to most people. Still, activists say, had Cassini been equipped with solar panels for electricity, all danger could have been averted. But Saturn receives only a hundredth of the sunlight Earth does, and the solar panels needed to supply Cassini at that distance would have to be far too large for such a mission. Other than plutonium generators, says physicist James Van Allen, discoverer of Earth's radiation belts, "there is no practical...
