File Description [top]

The Duluth News-Tribuneis a daily community paper with regular sections that include business, entertainment, and sports news. There is considerable focus on outdoor recreational industries, particularly as they relate to local stateparks and tourist activities, such as skiing, climbing, and snowmobiling. Coverage also extends to such local industries as iron ore mining, shipping activities at the port on Lake Superior, and grain processing. News about the U.S. Steel Great Lakes Fleet, headquartered nearby is included. The paper also reports on the timber industry, which is important to the local economy, with Potlatch Corporation being one of the key players. Recycling is another local industry that is covered, including the Lake Superior Recycling Industry. Also covered is Minnesota’s generous state care benefits policy, a result of a higher-than-average elderly population. And when the Minnesota State legislature is in session in St. Paul, its activity is reviewed by the paper.

    TEXT: 
  DL=, /LP, /TX  NEW YORK - With the brightness of a quarter moon, a comet should light up 
    Sunday night's sky like a luminescent cotton ball on its way home to the 
    sun. 
     
     It will never reach there, but its orbit should bring it within 21 million 
    miles. As its brightness grows in the sun's heat and its gases and ice 
    crystals evanesce, there is a chance that Comet Hyakutake will be visible 
    from Earth by telescope, binoculars and even the naked eye. 
     
    If its brightness holds, it will be intrinsically the brightest comet to 
    pass so close to Earth -- less than 9.5 million miles -- since 1556. 
     
       A bundle of dust and ice crystals and who knows what else, perhaps 100 
    miles across, it is traveling a million mph in obedience to its orbit which 
    should bring it back this way in 10,000 to 20,000 years. 
     
       Hyakutake was discovered in late January when it was 250 million miles 
    from the sun. When it rounds the sun around the first of May it will be 
    within 21 million miles of the sun with the chance that it may be visible 
    to the naked eye. 
     
       There has not been a bright comet near Earth since Comet West in 1976. 
    Joe Rayo, guest lecturer and instructor at New York's Hayden Planetarium, 
    remembers being a college sophomore at the time. "The comet had five tails, 
    count 'em, five." He called newspapers and news services to tell them. 
     
       They all yawned when they found he was an excited student. They said, 
    "Yeah, yeah kid. Go out and enjoy your comet." But he will never forget it. 
     
       Comets, no matter how numerous, remain one of the enigmas of the galaxy. 
     
       "The solar system was formed 5 1/2 or 6 billion years ago, a big 
    swirling mass of dust and gas which eventually condensed down to become the 
    sun and the planets to go around it," says Rayo. 
     
       "When the furnace was lit and the sun began to glow for the first time, 
    the energy was such that it blew out the excess material in all directions 
    to the limits of the solar system and the planets that go around it and 
    maybe halfway to the nearest star." 
     
       Rayo says one could compare this debris to the equivalent of a "cosmic 
    bathtub ring." 
     
                  (. . .) _ 
    INFOBOX: How to view 
     
    To get a better view of the Comet Hyakutake, get out of town. The comet 
    just can't compete with the glare from city lights. Best find the darkness 
    of some rural lover's lane. 
     
    The comet first becomes visible Sunday, and is expected to remain visible 
    through early May.
