...arguments over the future of each parcel may seem unimportant to an outsider, yet to each Berliner, every one of these places is crucial in determining how they (and I) see their city. History continues to weigh upon the city relentlessly...
...catching crooks. Yet the Bayside movies aren't farces; they walk a tightrope between deadpan humor and serious drama. Aoshima and his gang are at root a virtuous bunch, constantly questioning the dubious policies of their superiors while putting themselves at personal and professional risk to seek justice. They weigh choices and debate the differences between the good of the individual and of the group, loyalty to one's boss vs. the pursuit of justice, and doing what's right for one's career vs. simply doing what's right...
...course, the vast majority of the American politicians did not have to weigh the cost of losing a child against the supposed benefits of invasion. Only one of the 535 members of Congress, Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., had a son in the battle zone. George and Laura Bush, Tony and Cherie Blair, will never know the pain that John and Ann Turrington feel. They never even risked it.

Barely 1 ft. high and 2 ft. long and weighing 24 lbs., it operated for three months and in all that time toddled across a stretch of Martian terrain little bigger than a football field. The new rovers are much closer to true space cars. Measuring 5 ft. tall from their wheels to the top of their camera masts, the 2003 models weigh about 400 lbs. each and should be able to cover up to 3,000 ft. in their 90 days of life--including many days they will spend standing around...
