...hand, known in NASAese as an "end effector." Eventually, the spider-web-like wire snare should be able to capture any satellite equipped with appropriately mated hooks. On this voyage, Truly will only guide the 50-ft.-long arm through various manipulations of its "shoulder," "elbow" and "wrist" joints. If the machinery jams when the arm is extended, one of the spacemen will have to climb into a pressure suit and go outside to reel the limb in. If that fails, the arm will have to be jettisoned in space. For unless the shuttle's big, heat-shielded cargo...
...given night through September, Meyreles might grab a woman from the crowd and lead her through dance steps, or pair couples blindly. He regularly enlisted a group of Tim Curryesque wrist-flickers to help him lead into his funky rendition of "Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

His plant was too small to have a medical department, his own doctor was way across town and he did not want the hassle of checking in at a hospital. So he went to a neat, one-story building with a 40-ft.-high sign bearing a distinctive logo: an upraised hand with a bandage wrapped around its fingers and a first-aid cross on its palm. Once inside the MedStop clinic, Diaz quickly...
