While Gibson was solid only for parts of the game, Fields was consistently solid throughout and was occasionally spectacular in the third period amidst sustained Northeastern pressure...
...Hutton was certainly on solid ground in castigating BBC reporter Andrew Gilligan (who has also resigned) for making "very grave" and "unfounded" charges when he accused the government, in an unscripted, unedited broadcast he made from home, of "probably knowing" that a central claim in its dossier on Iraqi WMD - that some were deployable in 45 minutes - was false and inserted over the objections of the intelligence community, allegedly at the behest of Blair's powerful communications director, Alastair Campbell.

With no atmosphere to interfere with precision optics, it offers both the 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...
