THE SECOND-BEST SWORDSMAN
From Mark Twain: "The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second-best swordsman; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him."
James Erwin, Editor, Des Moines, IA, USA

MAKING RUNWAYS OUT OF ICE
Arctic engineers make their own icebergs to use as runways. It takes 26 inches of manmade ice to support a Caterpillar grader, 5 feet to support a 737 jet. Homemade ice forms faster and harder when the water is sprayed rather than flooded, but if the stream is aimed too high, the water falls as snow.
John Urquhart, staff reporter, The Wall Street Journal quoting Larry Sagriff, ice engineer, Panarctic Oils Ltd., of Calgary
