...larger truth: that the most important attribute of a President is not intellect but something both more familiar and less knowable--temperament. The job of the modern presidency is so complex, so taxing, so intense that one's disposition even more than one's mental bandwidth may be the key to handling...
...ships are on the way, with NASA planning to launch another, larger rover--the Mars Science Laboratory--in 2009 and another orbiter in 2013. The European Space Agency hopes to launch its own rover in 2013. A robotic mission to gather rocks and return them to Earth is a key NASA objective, while the most tantalizing goal of all--a manned landing--remains a remote but credible goal.

In 61 cases, individuals had exhausted appeals, leaving Governors’ pardons as the only available option despite compelling DNA evidence of their innocence. Such facts show the clear fallibility of the criminal justice system...
