Sunday

ESSENTIAL STUFF: 66 F. The graduation party tents did the trick, yesterday: nary a drop of rain fell in Waterville, all day long! It will be a different story today, however. An early thunderstorm brought just enough rain to keep the dust down and more rumbly, rainy spells are forecast for the rest of the day and evening bringing varying amounts of precipitation and with the possibility of strong winds, now and then.

Thunderstorms forced NASA to call off the launch of Shuttle "Discovery," yesterday. The launch was rescheduled for 3:26 pm today, but bad weather was forecast to continue through the weekend, threatening further delays.

The Yankees lost to the Mets, 8 - 3; the RedSox beat the Marlins 11 - 2.
At Wimbledon, play resumes tomorrow at noon.
At the World Cup, the Final score on Saturday was France 1, Brazil 0. Next game: Italy v. Germany: 3:00pm EDT Jul 4.
