Rocket Engine Contract Lost But Admirable Boy Engineers Shine
A Pennsylvanian group called Extraterrestrial Mining & Manufacturing failed to win a government rocket engine contract but impressed NASA. Led by 15 year old Jimmy Tomokyo and about 25 high schoolers, the team claims a machine based on altitude control using mass conversion, with initial funding under $10. Michael Varosky wrote to Huntsville and praised Jimmy as the "brains" of the group, who plans further experiments and potential patent prospects in coming years.

Cinderella no rags to riches for Lesley Ann Warren
Washington columnist profiles Lesley Ann Warren about her Cinderella casting and career path. Warren, already established on Broadway in 110 in the Shade, is highlighted as a ready choice rather than a rags to riches find. The piece finishes with a playful anecdote about a pumpkin pie and a fairy tale pun.
