...Publishers, and especially photographers, had a lot to work with. Fawcett's thin, animated lips and row upon row of immaculate Chiclet teeth conspired into a sunny, uncomplicated smile. Her body was athletic, her arms honey-glazed. And that wild mane of hair gave rise to the rumor that a lion at the San Diego Zoo had been secretly scalped. The whole package was alluring but not shamelessly sexy; a throwback to pinup queens of an earlier era, it signaled the freewheeling fun of the ultimate Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

...fairly sloshes with water. Mars, we now know, was once as wet as Earth and still harbors ice and perhaps liquid water. The moon is thought to have water locked in permafrost at its poles. Jupiter's moon Europa is probably home to a globe-girdling ocean beneath a thin rind of ice, and its Jovian sisters Callisto and Ganymede appear to be icy and wet too. Now, according to new findings by the Cassini spacecraft, one more name can be added to the list of water worlds: Enceladus, a small moon orbiting Saturn. What's more, Enceladus' water might...

...When he lost that battle with the courts and legislature last week, Sanford, who can be as eccentric as he is thin-skinned, simply disappeared (although staffers insist they could reach him by cell phone in case of emergency). "I've spent the last five days of my life crying in Argentina," he said at the capitol in Columbia. "I'm committed to getting my heart right. I've been unfaithful to my wife. I've let down a lot of people. I apologize...
