Self-sticking stamps a headache for recyclers
Washington reports that self-adhesive postage stamps and related self adhesive labels are clogging recycling equipment and reducing paper quality. Major players including 3M Boise Cascade Weyerhauser International Paper and the U S Postal Service are researching an environmentally benign adhesive while recyclers adapt. Stamp sales have surged since their 1991 introduction with 32 billion projected this year, yet the glue complicates disposal and increases costs for recyclers like Frank Sciacca and Paper Re gath International's Barbara Coleman.

NASA Pathfinder nears sun to guide Mars mission
Sun sensors on the Pathfinder spacecraft have been adjusted to improve orientation for its 310 million mile journey to Mars. Four of five sensors operate fully as software fixes alter readings from sensor No 5 and spin rate is slowed to one rev every 30 seconds. Pathfinder remains 1.3 million miles from Earth traveling at 7124 mph en route to Mars with a rover deployment planned for July 4, 1997 and a January 4 trajectory correction to aim more precisely toward Mars.
