...recent finding of similar features around Uranus and Jupiter were thought to be unique. Before Voyager's visit only six Saturnian rings and a few gaps between them were known. Now there seem to be 1,000 rings or so. One of the so-called gaps may contain several dozen ringlets. Titan, the largest moon in the solar system, appears to be wrapped in a dense atmosphere of nitrogen vapors, rather than methane-the best guess before Voyager-and its surface may be awash in a cold sea of liquid nitrogen. Saturn's entourage of other satellites, until...
...Frostbelt's aging manufacturing base has decayed and suffered from foreigh competition. Between 1970 and 1978, the Frostbelt altogether lost over 400,000 manufacturing jobs without much slack taken up by new jobs in the service sector. As the Joint Economic Committee once stated, "the northeast and midwest contain the oldest, least efficient manufacturing facilities, which are the first closed as production is reduced." Large, mobile corporations abandon these plants in favor of newer Sunbelt facilities, located where labor and energy is cheap, the quality of life slow and easy, and golf courses green year round. For every manufacturing...

But Dirty Linen does not explore the psychology of public prurience, does not try to explain why people buy newspapers when they contain prying stories about politicians' private lives. In the play's epiphanic moment, a buxom secretary named Maddie Gotobed--the "Titian-haired, green-eyed" enchantress at the root of this particular scandal--instructs the committee of M.P.s investigating the charges that "the people" care about how they perform their public jobs...
South House Q.B. Joe Auteri couldn't quite match those stats, mostly because of a surprising Quincy pass rush and airtight secondary. The vaunted Rebel offensive line couldn't contain the charge of Quincy's Paul Rozak, John Keane, John Garvey, and Lance Miller, particularly in the second half, and the usually potent SoHo passing attack only managed 30 yards on five completions...
...instant grist for Russell Baker's saturnine mill. Observed the humorist in his New York Times column: "Thus is the produce of the most fertile brain placed at the disposal of the masses. The most advanced mind is able to serve the humblest illiterate by being applied to contain a sneeze, to comfort some tender portion of the flesh, to absorb perhaps a dollop of fish grease which has landed on the kitchen floor...
