...today, showing that the size fits O.J," saysTIME's James Willwerth. "That was mandatory for their case." Prosecutors hope that showing Simpson wearing the new gloves will convince jurors that the only reason he had a bit of trouble donning the earlier pair was because blood and exposure to sun had caused the leather to shrink. The prosecution will wrap up the state's case in a few weeks...
...enter Balkan airspace-and the mission was under way. Within minutes the aircraft had reached Bosnian Serb territory. At one point, Admiral William A. Owens, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called Lake and said, "Our feet are dry," meaning they were flying over land. The sun was winking through the rugged, fog-draped Balkan terrain as the CH-53s spent the next 50 minutes flitting 200 ft. over pine forests...
What Burrows and his colleagues are looking at is more than a confirmation of astronomical theory. It's also a snapshot of what our own sun must have looked like about 5 billion years ago.

In the neon nights, the listless and the luckless -- dropouts, boozers, gamblers and speed freaks -- take refuge in cheap motels. No one knows how many drifters travel the roads, how many alienated Americans hole up in motel rooms, in anger or despair. No one can even say if there are more of the rootless in this desolate corner of America than elsewhere. Theirs is an invisible subculture...
