2: JAMES RESTON, JR. has just written a biography of Galileo, called "Galileo: A Life." (HarperCollins) In it he explores how Galileo was publicly humiliated for supporting the theory that the Earth revolved around the sun. RESTON recently wrote a cover story for "Time Magazine," on the comet crash into Jupiter, before the crash became national news.
