...greet the new man, Brown slipped in the back door and went to work. In what the Daily Mail has called "the hundred hair-raising days" since, Brown has gone about his job in his own quixotic way, using frankness as a rapier and leaving behind him a trail of trampled toes. On his first trip abroad as Foreign Secretary in October, Brown informed a Detroit audience of top businessmen: "I have always liked to believe that there are some things we British do better than you-and judging by the lunch we've just eaten, feeding...
Wheeling around a highly elliptical path, 1866 I is being gradually broken up by solar radiation, and the gravity of the sun and the larger planets. In the process, it has left a trail of countless meteoroids that now litter its entire orbital track...
