...team has changed very few faces from a squad that struggled to win fewer than half its games last year. Rookie John Stephens' combination of power and speed is expected to give a mediocre running game a big threat, but without an effective offensive line, don't expect too much...
...three-three lineup has pared down the midfield, but not far enough. There are still too many positions and too few players. The graduation of All-America Nick Hotchkin, whose speed went unchallenged at left midfield, has left a big hole in the Crimson lineup. Junior Richard Knight was expected to step in and fill the position, but Knight did not report to pre-season training and has informed Getman that he will not be playing soccer this fall...
...candidate whom Sasso had, perhaps too loyally, served. In arranging for an emotional homecoming, the self-reliant Dukakis all but acknowledged that Sasso is the indispensable man. The team of Chairman Paul Brountas and Campaign Manager Susan Estrich had proved adept at directing a safe, within-the-speed-limit strategy that befitted the candidate's personality. But since the Republican Convention, they had been pinned down by the furious fusillades from George Bush. There was no effective counterattack and no coherent battle plan -- just a forlorn candidate clinging to the shopworn themes that had carried him through the primaries...
...weekends every year, U.S. and West European air bases throw open their gates to hundreds of thousands of spectators for air shows. The aeronautical extravaganzas are beloved by military officials as morale boosters and lures for potential recruits. The shows are equally appreciated by the public for the excitement, speed and spectacle. But all that glamour was blasted away last week during a few hellish minutes at the Ramstein U.S. Air Base in West Germany, about 70 miles southwest of Frankfurt...
Most recent breakthroughs in remote sensing came from satellites launched in the late 1970s. NASA's Seasat 1, Tiros N and Nimbus 7 satellites took indirect measurements of ocean conditions, such as surface wind speed and direction, by gathering data on radiation scattered by waves. At first, scientists had to correct their data for errors introduced by everything from sunspot activity to changes in the ozone levels of the upper atmosphere. "It wasn't just getting bigger computers, better instruments, better physics or better computer languages," says Robert Evans, a physicist at the University of Miami's Remote Sensing Laboratory...
