Mike Fiala/Newsmakers ARIZONA SENATOR and Republican presidential hopeful John McCain waves to the press after casting his ballot in the Arizona GOP primary at the Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on Tuesday. McCain takes two primaries DETROIT (AP) - John McCain thumped George W. Bush in a two state sweep Tuesday night, rallying a “new McCain majority” of indepen dents and Democrats in Michigan and winning his home state of Arizona to seize momentum for a two-week blitz of Republican primaries. “As I look more electable, we’ll start drawing more Republicans,” McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press. “What I believe we are assembling is the new McCain majority.” McCain received just one-fourth of die GOP vote in Michigan. Humbled by defeat,.the Texas governor said, “This is a marathon, and I’m going to be in it all the way to the end - and some primaries you win and sometimes you don’t.” McCain’s is the latest victory in a see-sawing Republican nomination race. The Arizonan won New Hampshire’s leadoff primary in a landslide, lost the follow-up show down in South Carolina and won Michigan by a narrow margin. In each case, Bush and McCain forged mirror-image coalitions: Bush with an overwhelming majority of bedrock Republicans and McCain reaching outside the party for a simi lar-sized force of Democrats and independents. Operi to all comers, Michigan’s primary actually drew more non Republicans than Republicans. Bush supporters bitterly dis missed McCain’s victory. “John McCain isn’t party-build ing, he’s party-borrowing,” said three term Michigan Gov. John Engler, who accused tne senator of “renting Democrats” for the night. Engler had promised to carry Michigan for Bush and took blahie for the defeat. —In Michigan, with 80 percent of the precincts reporting, McCain had 560,684 votes, or 50 percent, and Bush had 494,731 votes, or 44 per cent. Former ambassador Alan Keyes had 5 percent. —In Arizona, with 69 percent of the precincts reporting, McCain had 161,770 votesl or 60 percent, and Bush had 96,473 votes, or 36 percent. Keyes had 4 percent. McCain won all of Arizona’s 30 delegates with his victory there. His statewide victory in Michigan earned him 10 at-large delegates, increasing his overall total to 54. Shuttle returns with planet maps CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Space shuttle Endeavour and its crew of six returned to Earth on Tuesday with more than a week's worth of radar images that will be transformed into die finest maps of. the planet. Commander Kevin Kregel guid ed the shuttle down through a clear sky moments after sunset. Gusty winds at the runway had forced him to make an extra swing around Earth, delaying the homecoming by an hour and a half. During their 11 -day voyage, Endeavour’s astronauts worked in round-the-clock shifts to keep two large radar antennae running - one in the shuttle cargo bay and one on the end of a 197-foot mast. The method is expected to pro duce 3-D maps of Earth’s peaks and valleys. The radar mapped 43.5 million square miles of Earth’s terrain at least twice, just 2.5 million square miles shy of NASA’s original goal. The surveyed land stretched as far north as British Columbia and as far soiltiras€~ape Horn and represented three-quarters of the world’s terrain. A faulty thruster on the end of the radar mast forced the crew to use extra shuttle fuel to steady the mast, the longest rigid structure ever deployed in space. To save fuel, the astronauts had to cut short their mapping by 13 hours. NASA’s first order of business involved unloading the more than 300 digital tapes containing all the radar data.The tapes will be flown to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Scientists will keep the originals in humidity- and temperature-con trolled chambers. “We’re really going to baby these things, obviously, because they’re our crown jewels,” said Michael Kobrick, a scientist in charge of the project. i a fr $ fr**
