...renaissance in ground-based astronomy and optical systems [ASTRONOMY, Nov. 13]. The explosion of new telescopes and other state-of-the-art tools is providing astronomers with unprecedented opportunities. What should also be emphasized is the way ground- and space-based telescopes work together. Far from being just a finder telescope for the Keck, as the piece suggested, the amazing Hubble Space Telescope--arguably the most productive astronomical instrument ever--has been a wellspring for investigations with ground-based telescopes. Indeed, collaboration with the Hubble and other space telescopes, such as the orbiting Chandra and the Space Infrared Telescope Facility...
...while the Hubble is good at locating faint celestial objects, the follow-up science is often done by observatories on the ground. In essence, the Hubble is like the small finder telescopes backyard astronomers use to pinpoint interesting objects for their full-size telescopes...

Chief political correspondent Eric Pooley is a diligent, probing fact finder who has constantly dug deeper into topics that others were treating glibly. And our columnist Margaret Carlson has, throughout the year, provided a tangy mix of sharp wit and common sense, as she does with her column on Bill Clinton this week...

I wanted to somehow capture them in my photos. In order to do that, I would use the no-finder technique-that is, taking the photo without looking through the viewfinder. In order to capture in photos what I wanted, I naturally came to use that technique often. Due to this no-finder method, my photos tended to be blurry and out of focus. Later, I came to realize that I could...

All are popular, moderate and Republican. For Gore and the Democrats, there's just one: California's Gray Davis. And he doesn't want...
