By the time Snowmageddon II hit, just four days after the first, the unusual good cheer and neighborliness of our-capital-under-siege had melted away--and its usual nasty temperament reasserted itself, with extra viciousness. By the time Snowmageddon II hit, just four days after the first, the …

Charles Krauthammer’s piece yesterday about the budget cuts for America’s manned space programs had me in a nostalgic mood. When I was a boy a picture of …Losing Our Edge in Space
