ng and successful history of achievement in space. The problem is money.As the Russian economy has slowed dramatically, so has Russian space activity. The head of the Russian Space Agency, Yuri Koptev, recently stated that space funding has dropped by 80 percent since 1989. In 1996, Russia flew fewer space missions (24, including four failures) than the US (33, all but one a success), the first time this has happened since 1966. Russian resupply missions to Mir have been halved.Of more immediate concern to NASA is when  or even if  the Russians can deliver their parts of Alpha. The critically important Russianfundedandbuilt service module was to be the third element of the new station to go into space. Without this piece, or some similar stage to provide the station with propulsion to keep it out of the grasp of Earth's atmosphere, station construction cannot proceed. Launch was to be in April 1998.Was is the key word the Russian government has been unable to find enough money to keep construction on schedule. De

 Plath for is explained away in simplistic terms in Dreamers:...The Fate she carriedSniffed us outAnd assembled us, inert ingredientsFor its experiment. The Fable shecarriedRequisitioned you and me and her,Puppets for its performance.The fatalism in these poems becomes tiresome quickly. The predictable perspective makes the speaker seem so uninsightful that even when he deals with a serious issue  Plath's relationship with her father, for example  the reader isn't satisfied. Hughes reduces everything to glaring simplicity and skirts too many legitimate issues.Birthday Letters becomes more interesting when it captures the energy of Plath's forceful poems, her intensity, her tight, almost visceral imagery. But the strongest work comes when Hughes stops trying to explain Plath's emotions and allows himself to get in touch with his own.That is when Hughes steps out of Plath's shadow and writes truly memorable poems. Too bad he didn't have the wisdom to let Birthday Letters consist of only the 20 or 30 best pages. He

Just like the applesauce my mother grew up eating at my grandparents' house in New Jersey.My grandmother Rose told me stories about life with her six brothers and sisters in the big Victorian down the street from my mother's childhood home. When Ro was a girl, she shared one bed with her two older sisters. She told me that she went to bed one night with an apple for a latenight snack. Does anybody else want oneshe asked before going upstairs. No, said her sisters.Then, lying together in the dark, they heard my grandmother crunching her apple. Rosie, can I have a biteone sister asked. Then the other asked, then the first again. The next night, and every night forward, my grandmother brought two apples to bed: one for eating and one for bites.I would lie in my own bed, in my own room at night, making up historical epics in my head for huge casts of characters  always large fa

 t New York would draw sympathy votes because of 9/11. Immediately after the attack, the mayor of Rome suggested that other international cities drop out if New York became the US candidate.But, that was then. Well, it's a year later and no one is saying anyone should drop out, says Mr. Messing, who is on New York's Committee.If New York wins, one of the reasons will be its ability to laugh at itself.A videotape sent to the USOC shows a typical crowded New York street corner. The crosswalk sign says, Don't Walk. Up walks a man in track shorts. Someone turns around and stares at him while he gets into a sprinter's starting position. The sign changes to Walk and he sets a world record for crossing the street while the logo underneath reads, New York, we've been training for this all our lives.I fell in love with Chinese opera because the costumes were so pretty and all the girls always looked so graceful, says Anna Paquette, who has been coming to the Luck Ngi for almost 10 years.
