...quotes Zimmer; id like a city holiday and a parade to City Hall where the ecstatic young women of the town hoist the simple manager onto their shoulders. The truth is, any Boston sports fan would endure Zimmer if he was masterful enough to guide a ballclub with a shallow pitching staff, and an injured supercatcher, and a terrible psychological history to a pennant...
...coastline of Mexico, just south of the U.S. border, Coke is cultivating shrimp in narrow, shallow channels of water that are covered by plastic bubbles. "All the shrimp have been just about fished out of the oceans," says Austin. That is largely because in the open seas, 98% of all shrimp eggs are lost; but in Coke's protected patches, 50% grow to maturity. Austin expects fairly soon to be selling a lot of shrimp from this "controlled environment farm." There is a fair chance that when the supply stretches, the price will shrink...
Then it moved on to Ganymede, photographing a tortured, cratered sphere whose cracked and faulted icy crust may indicate moonquakes. It took a closer look at Europa, which revealed an intricate lattice work of veinlike lines that may represent shallow fissures in an icy sea. Finally, Voyager 2 shifted its electronic gaze to lo, the innermost and most spectacular of the Galilean moons. Four months ago, Voyager 1 had spotted eight volcanoes in the midst of eruption, the first time such activity was observed other than on earth. Last week its successor photographed six of the same eruptions, suggesting...
...month-old recovery, is slowing substantially. The nation's output of goods and services grew by a paltry .8% in the first quarter. For April and May, industrial production actually declined, though only slightly, for the first time since January 1978. The standard forecast now is for a shallow slump lasting no more than two to three quarters...
...Giacconi recalled last week, the problem entailed getting enough X-ray particles to fall on a detector and create an image, like light (in the form of "photons") hitting film in a camera. Giacconi saw that by positioning mirrors at shallow angles to the incoming radiation, astronomers could collect X-rays over a large area and funnel them onto a small detector, allowing for photographs "a millionfold" more detailed than previously possible...
