...read about China's manned space program with interest and wonder [Oct. 20]. I grew up watching the Apollo launches and hoped that by now the U.S. would have made many more giant leaps into our solar system and beyond. The Apollo lunar program was a testament to mankind's curiosity, tenacity and intellect. But it demonstrated our competitive nature and paranoia about the Soviet Union's space program. Perhaps a little competition is what we need to give the National Aeronautics and Space Administration the proper funding. I wish the Chinese success in space. It can only help...

Let’s begin our journey in 1990, the year that saw the debut of a TV movie called Camp Cucamonga. Although it boasted a cast with the likes of DJ Tanner, Steve Urkel, and Winnie and Paul from The Wonder Years, one star clearly outshone the rest: a young Jennifer Aniston “Wait!” you object. “I’ve seen that movie ten times and Jennifer Aniston is not in it.” So sorry, my friend, but that’s her as camp counselor Eva Schector.
