At Pasadena-s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, project manage Pete Theisinger said there was a -very serious anomaly- in communications. Jill Serjeant, who is following the story for Reuters, says the setback should have no affect on Opportunity, the twin rover which is expected to land on opposite side of Mars, Saturday. - Reporter's Notebook: The 'Legal Lynching' of Marcus Dixon

Norman Arey is reporting the case, which was heard yesterday by the Georgia Supreme Court, for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
