Glenn lifts off into history
AP 
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Still the hero and still making history, John Glenn roared back into space yesterday, retracing the trail he blazed for America's astronauts 36 years ago.
''Boy, enjoying the show,'' Glenn said as Discovery soared 340 miles over Hawaii three hours into the flight. ''This is beautiful. It's still a trite old statement: Zero-g and I feel fine,'' he added, repeating the words of his first flight.

Quazi Modo pumped up for crowds at The Union by Rob Harvilla THE POST
For most people, the name Quazi Modo conjures up memories of the spinally-challenged protagonist in Disney's rendering of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Not an entirely pleasant sensation.
Here's a new image for you: Quazi Modo, the rock band, an alcohol-saturated, wildly eccentric, caterwauling garage-rock foursome, guaranteed to make Walt Disney spin in his grave like a shish-kebab.
