Missing energy of the universe fuels accelerating expansion
Cosmologists at a Fermilab workshop weigh vacuum energy as the missing energy driving cosmic acceleration. Rival teams’ supernova data support an expanding universe, while two main ideas quintessence and the cosmological constant offer mechanisms for negative pressure and evolving energy density.

Merriam-Webster defends slur definitions reform plan
Merriam-Webster will reformat about 200 offensive terms in its Collegiate Dictionary by moving caution notes to the front of entries and printing them in italics. The company will not remove the terms or rewrite definitions, citing the dictionary as scholarly reference. Public protest continues from Delphine Abraham of Michigan with over 10,000 signatures.

White House aide McDougal indicted in Whitewater probe
A federal grand jury in Arkansas indicted Susan McDougal on counts of contempt and obstruction after she refused to answer questions about Bill and Hillary Clinton. The case centers on whether Clinton testified truthfully and how Hillary Clinton’s legal work related to a savings association and a land deal tied to Whitewater. Prosecution notes a $5,081.81 payoff notation on an August 1983 check and McDougal’s claim she would answer only if Kenneth Starr and staff were removed.
