Sloan saw his people as part of a larger totality, the carnal and cozy body of the city itself, where even the searchlight on top of Madison Square Garden, he wrote, "was scratching the belly of the sky and tickling the building."

U.S. and NATO negotiators are trying to lower tensions sent sky high after the detaining of four Serbs the Muslim government accuses of war crimes. Briefing American reporters in Paris, Holbrooke said at least one hoped-for result would be a further clarification of the new 'rules of the road' governing the conditions under which NATO troops would take part in tracking down and arresting suspected war criminals.

If the suspect signal should then reappear in the same location, Leigh says, "alarms won't go off, but the computer will send us E-mail." And unlike earlier SETI programs, which sometimes signaled "hits" that after much excitement and analysis turned out to be beeps from prosaic Earthbound or orbiting electronic sources, BETA methodically compares signals from space to signals...
