No to Cuba: Elian says he wants to stay in U.S.
About 200 protesters gathered at INS headquarters urging Elian Gonzalez be returned to his father in Cuba. Rep. Dan Burton, who sought to keep the boy in the United States, said Elian told him he does not want to go back, saying he likes living in the United States. Burton described Elian as intelligent after a 30 minute visit at the boy's relatives' home. The case has drawn intense national debate since Elian was found clinging to an inner tube off Florida in November.

NASA plans 197-foot radar boom for Earth mapping mission
NASA aims to extend a 197 foot radar antenna from the space shuttle Endeavour to map Earth's terrain with unprecedented precision. If deployed after liftoff, it would become the longest rigid structure in space, enabling detailed environmental and military data. Some scientists lament a one day cut in planned mapping.
