Leading the way is captain Will Kohler, who led the team in both goals (nine) and assists (eight). Wilmot, a tall forward, also did well offensively with six goals and six assists in 14 games, as did junior Toure McCluskey and sophomores Zach Viders and Armando Petrucelli...
...looks out the window of his gym at Will's playhouse and at the daffodils and the pines. He goes to 78 [degrees]. When he reaches his personal record of 80 [degrees], he stops. The nurses are staring at him in amazement. His trainer remarks with admiration how tall...
...space agency will launch two missions to Mars. The first, the Mars Global Surveyor, is an orbiter that will arrive in September 1997 and spend at least four months circling the planet and mapping its geology and climate. Despite its small size (10 ft. tall; 2,300 lbs.), the spacecraft carries quite an instrument load, including magnetometers to measure magnetic fields, a laser altimeter that can gauge the height of surface features to within 30 ft., and optical cameras that can detect objects as small...
...into space. Like NASA's unmanned Viking ships of the 1970s, Pathfinder will land on Mars' pockmarked surface. Unlike the Vikings, Pathfinder will have someplace to go once it gets there. After the pyramid-shaped payload touches down, its sides will open like the petals of a 3-ft.-tall flower to reveal a six-wheeled rover. Powered by solar cells and D-cell batteries, the 2-ft.-long robot vehicle is supposed to hum away from the landing pod, crawling at 2 ft. a minute, and sample the soil for several weeks--or until its batteries...
Those immune to the appeal of birding may wonder why the tall, soft-spoken artist was so widely renowned, and is so deeply mourned. What does counting chickadees have to do with anything really important? Peterson, of course, answered that question countless times during the past 62 years. Birds are not only beautiful and fascinating but also early indicators of what is right or going wrong on this planet (think of the canary in the mine shaft). Peterson opened up the natural world to millions of people who might otherwise have gone through life seeing only fluttering shapes and colors...
