Although for budgetary reasons it opted in 1981 against launching a Halley's probe of its own, NASA nonetheless remains smack in the middle of the action. The agency plans to dedicate part of two shuttle missions, including the flight that will boost aloft Teacher Sharon Christa McAuliffe, to comet- related experiments. The Solar Max satellite, brought back to life l8 months ago by a shuttle repair crew and now performing its normal duty of monitoring the sun, will examine Halley's off and on for about 60 days.

All along the storm's route there were phone lines down, steeples and trees felled, cars bashed by limbs, roadways flooded, some roofs dislodged, boardwalks buckled, beaches undermined...
Richard Nicholson '86's conure bird found flying high more difficult. Nicholson was studying in his room one day last year when he heard his conure fluttering around in the other room, and "then a smack and no noise."
