While the two LIGO installations by themselves will enable scientists to tune in to heavenly disasters, the addition of two more facilities would make it possible to determine the precise locations of the events. Says Vogt: "There are proposals pending to build gravity-wave observatories in Europe and Australia, and we're hoping to put together an international network." That will take time, and some of the most important discoveries lie years in the future. But just as Galileo did with his crude telescope in the early 1600s, the first generation of gravity-wave astronomers will undoubtedly learn things right...
...Twin Peaks can be counted a success -- and not just d'estime. The show has proved that original, challenging and idiosyncratic fare can be done for TV, even within rigid network confines, and that people will tune in. Twin Peaks is, in fact, the culmination of a surprisingly fruitful season for offbeat, formula-breaking shows. ABC's Elvis, though a failure in the ratings, deconstructed the rock king's life into fresh, evocative snippets of biodrama.

...just pleased because the guys turned what could've become a sloppy event into a good tune-up for Princeton," Harvard Coach Dave Fish said, referring to tomorrow's Ivy-deciding match against the undefeated Tigers. "[Harvard] maintained an extremely high intensity level in every point...
...would dream of tampering with the majestic music of Britain's national anthem, familiar to Americans as the tune of My Country, 'Tis of Thee. But the words are another matter, in particular the assertive second verse, which calls on the deity to scatter the monarch's enemies, in phrases much admired by Queen Victoria: "Confound their politics/ Frustrate their knavish tricks." Last month the Church of England's Liturgical Commission suggested substituting a kindlier version, written by a London shoemaker in 1836, for use when the anthem is sung at Remembrance Day services for the dead...
...bopping right along. Twelve million people tune in each week, and the number of member stations has grown from 90 in 1970 to 395. Morning Edition, with its weekly audience of 4.8 million listeners, is public radio's top draw. Not even Garrison Keillor's new American Radio Company of the Air, which is produced by NPR's friendly rival, American Public Radio, commands such a large audience...
