...life. In a superbly executed internal space walk, Mir's new commander, Anatoli Solovyev, and his flight engineer, Pavel Vinogradov, floated into the airless lab and installed a new cable system that will provide electricity to Spektr and the rest of the power-thirsty station. "This is a super day," exulted NASA astronaut Michael Foale, who waited out the space walk inside Mir's Soyuz re-entry vehicle, the crew's lifeboat in case they had to abandon ship.

Oprah talked about the child who was thankful for the sound of his mother laughing, an observation surely to be valued above Power Rangers and Super Soakers. But does this justify $12.95 for a diary? New York Times Book Review editor Charles McGrath has declined to put the book on the Advice, How-to and Miscellaneous list (where Abundance now reigns), explaining, "I don't think the best-seller list should reflect merchandise...
