...objects of the court's concern were frolicking about the house they had lived in since the murder of their mother on June 12, 1994. Sydney, 11, playing with a cousin, was aware of the drama about to unfold: she had told a friend that, yes, she planned to spend the weekend with her at a slumber party but all that might be canceled if she went back to live with her father. Meanwhile, Sydney's brother Justin, 8, and another cousin were playing together--until television camera crews began their vigil outside. Relatives whisked the kids away...
...museum piece if we don't launch by the 31st," said Curtis Cleven, launch operations manager. If successful, the craft will be the first-ever inter-planetary rover, slated to land on July 4, 1997. Several hours after Pathfinder parachutes down, the petals on the spacecraft will unfold; a six-wheeled, 23-pound rover will come out to roam the Martian surface, examining rocks and beaming back data.

...Linde, a geophysicist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and the study's leader, what makes seismic events so destructive is not just that the earth moves but the speed with which it does so. In many quakes the crustal movement that leads to shaking takes only seconds to unfold, sending energy exploding in all directions. But recent analysis of data from strain gauges along the San Andreas Fault reveals that four years ago, a slip occurred that took a week to play out. Such slow sliding all but eliminates an earthquake's quaking...
...maybe Dole knew, maybe the polls and the consultants persuaded him, that this was too bitter a message to offer unsweetened. The children had become too spoiled to listen. That fact turned his speech, and the $74 million campaign that is about to unfold, into a study in paradox. In Verse 32, he told voters they had been insulted four years ago when they were told that material wealth was the only thing that mattered, as in "the economy, stupid." But by Verse 43, Dole was putting money on the table himself. If necessary, this father will pay his children...
