...Clear Lake Development Facility, currently owned by aerospace giant McDonnell Douglas. The measure had been quietly inserted into the bill, after it had passed the House and the Senate, by Republican Senator Kit Bond of Missouri, where McDonnell Douglas is based, and by House whip Delay, in whose suburban Houston district the property is located. A second provision, inserted by Mississippi lawmakers, called on nasa to give its 1,200-acre Yellow Creek Facility near Iuka, Mississippi, to that state-along with $10 million to reimburse the state for roads and other improvements to support a rocket-motor facility that...

Still, Schickel admits, "the scenery is always pretty" and "every era has the right to reinvent the Arthurian legend...
...think the hardest part about Harvard was adapting to the level of work expected and the level of thought and discussion that seemed to come so naturally to those around me. Coming form a public school system and a homogeneous suburban town, I felt like I had been living in a corner of the world for my whole life without ever realizing how far I was form the center.
