"Europa, Europa" argues that it is better to live on one's knees than to die on one's knees.Put another way, it postulates that heroic action, that mainstay of the Western imagination since Homer, is a sentimental luxury in a world dedicated to the destruction of an entire culture. It further maintains, with Lear, that ripeness is all and that death always sucks. Agnieszka Holland's great film, which opens today at the Charles, follows a young German Jew who, through fantastic good fortune and not a few kernels of inspired thespianism, managed to survive the Holocaust by hiding in the very belly of the beast itself.

In December 1609, German astronomer Simon Mayr, observing Jupiter through a telescope, noticed four dots of light in shifting alignments on either side of the planet. He concluded they were orbiting moons. Galileo Galilei spied the moons at the same time, but he published the discovery first and so got the credit. But Guy Ottewell's Astronomical Calendar notes it was Mayr's names for the moons - Io, Callisto, Ganymede and Europa - that stuck.

In the 110 years since its premiere, La Boheme has become one of the world's most famous - and favorite - operas. It was discovered by mainstream filmgoers in the 1987 movie Moonstruck and by Broadway theatergoers in Baz Luhrmann's 2002 adaptation that moved the action forward from 1840 to 1957 Paris. But Opera Verdi Europa's production of Giacomo Puccini's classic opera at the Bob Hope Performing Arts Center on Nov. 8 - the second offering in the Naval Academy's Distinguished Artists Series - was restrained and slow to come alive.

DALLAS -- The Galileo spacecraft just keeps going and going, despite a crippled antenna.Two years after the probe started exploring Jupiter and its moons, NASA has decided to extend the Galileo mission for another 24 months."

The Rape of Europa horrifies you with its depiction of the Nazis' assault on Western culture but also inspires you with its portrait of dedicated museum workers and archivists and a U.S. Army team known as "monuments men" who saved much of Europe's artistic legacy from destruction. In this cogent documentary, writers-directors Richard Berge, Bonni Cohen and Nicole Newnham, working from Lynn H. Nicholas' groundbreaking 1994 book, take an illuminating and inclusive look at their still-incendiary subject.

A Johns Hopkins University astrophysicist has discovered an oxygen atmosphere on Europa, the "ice-moon" of Jupiter. But don't pack your bags.It's 230 degrees below zero out there, 483 million miles from the sun. And the atmosphere at Europa's surface is as wispy as Earth's 150 miles above the ground, near where the space shuttle flies."

The CIA sure knows how to keep a secret from the Army. You'd never suspect they were on the same side.It's no good knocking down alternate houses. The city has to do the whole block if it wants to replace the wreckage with anything useful.If Alex. Brown had any sense, it would move Bankers Trust to Bawlamer.Cheer up. They found an ocean on Europa.Pub Date: 4/11/97

From the moment he arrived at McDaniel College in Westminster in late July for training camp, Ravens linebacker Jarret Johnson has had to answer countless questions about being the only new addition to a defense ranked first in the NFL last season. Tonight in the season opener on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals, Johnson will see if he can erase any remaining doubt about replacing Adalius Thomas, a two-time Pro Bowl player who left as a free agent for the New England Patriots. For Johnson, it is just part of the process that began when he was drafted by the Ravens in the fourth round out of Alabama four years ago, eventually played defensive end and linebacker and now is expected to step in where Thomas left off as one of the unit's most versatile players.

While other cruise ship passengers lounge in deck chairs, Douglas Ward is peering under his bed, running a finger along a deck to check for dirt, making a mental note at lunch that -- horrors -- the butter is in packets, not in "proper little iced dishes." "I'm not really snooping," he says during a phone interview from his home near Southampton, England. "I'm observing." That's his job. Ward is author of the Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships 2006, which evaluates 269 ships, large and small, budget and luxury.

WASHINGTON -- Some of the most ballyhooed missions on NASA's scientific agenda would be postponed indefinitely or perhaps canceled under the agency's new budget proposal, despite its administrator's vow to Congress six months ago that not "one thin dime" would be taken from space science to pay for President Bush's plan to send astronauts to the moon and Mars. The cuts come to $3 billion over the next five years, as NASA's total spending grows by 3.2 percent this year, to $16.8 billion.
