...clarity of outer space and a surface solid enough to support enormous structures. To look for Earthlike planets around distant stars and examine them for signs of life, for example, NASA is talking of launching a matched set of satellite telescopes whose combined light would make pictures far sharper than those of the Hubble Space Telescope. On the moon you could make the telescopes much bigger, spread them miles apart instead of yards and not have to worry about keeping them flying in perfect formation...
...Council on Foreign Relations last week (Clark bombed at the same podium a few weeks earlier). But the Massachusetts Senator has been cautious to the point of rigor mortis, and he has never overcome his tactical vote in favor of the Iraq-war resolution. Kerry's stump style is sharper than it was, but the revival may have come too late. In fact, the Senator's sell-by date seems to have passed in New Hampshire.

Fidgeting in her chair, doing her best to force a smile, she seems irritable, almost frosty, her normally cottony-soft drawl showing sharper edges. "I don't want to talk about my private life at all," she coolly commands, evidently reversing her long-held policy of discussing absolutely anything with the press, no matter how intimate (like chatting in W magazine last August about losing her virginity to Timberlake or, last week, sobbing...
