Kemp would like to see similar programs at other projects. The catch is that he wants to finance them largely with HUD funds that have been set aside for modernizing the complexes. To pay for the drug war, local housing authorities would have to sacrifice the installation of storm windows, new heating systems and other badly needed improvements.

...across. Even if the smaller size is correct, no one would want to have 1989FC land in the backyard. A 100-yd.- wide asteroid hitting the earth at a speed of nearly 50,000 m.p.h. could dig a crater a mile or so across and several hundred feet deep -- similar in size to a gaping hole in the Arizona earth, known as Meteor Crater, that was blasted out some 40,000 years ago.

It has happened so many times before, in fact, that the earth's surface would be as pockmarked as the moon's were it not for the cosmetic effects of erosion caused by the oceans and atmosphere. Half-mile asteroids are a dime a dozen in the solar system, and they run into the planet once every 100,000 years, on average. That means the next one could strike...
