...labor crunch in the resort and recreation industries. Dishwashers, floor sweepers and busboys have become as rare as teenagers in summer school. Says Cheryl Winters, manager of the Gwinnett County office of the Georgia department of labor: "There are essentially no domestic workers. They have gone with the wind." The situation . is not expected to improve over last year, when a privately funded study of Cape Cod, Mass., companies reported a shortage of 14,000 chambermaids, short- order cooks, waiters, clerks and other entry-level workers in that area. The survey, conducted by a public agency, the Office...
...cameras aboard the orbiters snapped away and remote-sensing devices searched for water vapor in the thin atmosphere and sought out frozen water in the polar ice caps. On the surface, the landers began providing the most accurate measurements yet of Martian surface temperatures, atmospheric density and wind velocity, while the cameras shot more than 4,500 spectacular close-up pictures of the surrounding, rock- strewn landscape. Each lander was also equipped with an arm that scooped up soil samples and fed them to a little onboard biological laboratory, where they were analyzed for any signs of metabolic activity, which...

For a city some claim is over 25 million strong, I thought, surely more than a few hundred people were in opposition to the PRI, which has been in power for decades...
Driving south along Highway 1804 above Cannon Ball, Leon Malard looked right and left reading the land and assessing the scorched crops, feeling the wind and watching for neighbors' activity. One was cutting hay in a narrow field. "Without last year's leftover it wouldn't be worth it," Malard said. "I was hoping to get some weeds, so I might have something to cut out of my fields. But not even the weeds came." He points at a patch of his land. "I couldn't even get the plow in that ground, it was baked so hard. The plow...
