While Farrakhan's bank account may not be any bigger when he returns from his latest powwow with Gaddafi, his ego will be inflamed. He plans to address an African-American political summit in St. Louis, Missouri, later this month, followed by a World's Day of Atonement on Oct. 16, the anniversary of the Million Man March (which incidentally wound up $66,000 in the hole, according to the Nation of Islam's calculations). One can only hope most people will ignore both events, but that hope is probably in vain. African Americans are so starved for inspiring leadership...
...some serious implications for the future of planetary research. NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin asked for a "robust program of exploration" of Mars, and it seems he may get it. On Wednesday, President Clinton announced that the U.S. would follow up the discovery with international scientists at a space summit this November. Two unmanned probes blasting off for scientific missions to Mars this November and December will be followed by eight more within a decade. "Congress has tentatively scheduled $100 million a year for ten years for Mars research," says TIME's Jeffrey Kluger. "Appropriations like that are always conditional, dependent...
...into an Antarctic ice field 13,000 years ago have yielded what may be the most significant planetary find in decades. After studying the Martian meteorite for two years, NASA and Stanford University scientists say they have discovered signs of life on Mars. President Clinton immediately announced a "space summit" in November to set strategy for exploring the finding. Said Clinton: "I am determined the American space program will put its full intellectual power and technological prowess behind the search for further evidence of life on Mars." The scientists found that the pinpoint-sized flecks contained hydrocarbons, which...
...housemaid's scattered cameos and her inevitably painful Irish accent. The play stands by itself, an unblinking testament to all-American dysfunction at the very site, the vacation home, where family togetherness is supposed to be at its best. Fortunately for us, this timeworn standard serves as a steady summit from which innovative actors like Camp, and occasionally Stuhlbarg, can find sure footing, then soar...
Communicating in code--Clinton was called the Governor of California, Yeltsin the Governor of Texas--the Americans sought Morris' help. They had earlier worked together to script Clinton's summit meeting with Yeltsin in mid-April. The main goal then was to have Clinton swallow hard and say nothing as Yeltsin lectured him about Russia's great-power prerogatives. "The idea was to have Yeltsin stand up to the West, just like the Communists insisted they would do if Zyuganov won," says a Clinton Administration official. "By having Yeltsin posture during that summit without Clinton's getting bent...
