...warning to even the most intrepid socializers and test-takers: It does get harder from here. As classes, jobs and extracurriculars begin to sap your time, all the fun of this week will seem a distant memory (which means you should, of course, enjoy the present all the more...
...chromosome ground zero: Monday Night Football. Not bad for a reporter who once had a footballer sign her notebook, assuming she was a fan.

"This is like the test track". Customers such as Iran and Pakistan, who both bought dozens of North Korean Rodongs, are bound to like the look of this new 1,240-mile-range Daepodong -- which is literally twice the missile the Rodong was. Kim Jong Il, soon to be installed as president, has a nice firework for his inauguration. And North Korea's starving millions -- well, they...
