...want to see us ever do away with our nuclear capability in Europe. My No. 1 mission is to deter war, not simply win one. For 500 years, every European generation has had to learn anew about war. Now, for four decades we haven't had one here. I don't think it's a coincidence that this period has coincided with the nuclear...
...evidence that the tanker's captain, Joseph Hazelwood, had at least two drinks in the hours before the accident. James Kunkel, the ship's chief mate, described the terrifying moments after the ship hit the reef. "I feared for my life," Kunkel said. "I wondered if I would see my wife again...
Nevertheless, visitors will see a park that is dramatically different from a year ago. The fires consumed 989,000 of Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, less than originally thought but still an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. But the flames were dervish-like, capriciously carving jigsaw patterns out of untouched forest, sometimes encircled by heavily burned areas.

"From an ecological standpoint, there was no downside," says John Varley, the park's chief of research...
...finds. Since 1973, London's monuments have been safeguarded largely through officially sanctioned voluntary pacts between developers and archaeologists. The agreements basically give scientific teams time to investigate all sites exposed by the digging of construction crews. The costs are borne by the developers, who have been quick to see the public relations advantage. Last year they provided $9 million for explorations at 162 sites in the London area.

Spielberg's camera style neither misses a trick nor reveals how it's done. See how he cues the change of a Zeppelin's course by the shadow scampering across a cocktail glass; watch a motif of cigarette lighters carry complicity from one character to another. Like a fine old haunted castle, his film has secret staircases of suspense, revolving panels of plot...
