...tried by the South Korean judicial system, and calling for the withdrawal of the 37,000 U.S. troops sta-tioned in the country. The Justice Ministry has described the acquittal as "regrettable," while two prominent political parties have called for a revision of the U.S.-South Korean military accord...
...Pyongyang's revelation that it hasn't stuck by the accord suggests it has been pursuing a two-track strategy to get the bomb. Instead of plutonium, the fissile material for atomic weapons can also be enriched uranium. (That's how the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was made.) In a report to Capitol Hill staffers in the U.S. last week, the CIA said Pyongyang in 2001 started seeking materials to build a production plant to turn out enriched uranium in large quantities. If the facility comes online in two or three years, as the spy agency suggests it could, North...
...what will happen to our environment. Scientists have already completed a forecast of global ocean temperatures for the next 50 years, and a full set of climate predictions will be ready by year's end. Soon, instead of speculating about the possible environmental impact of, say, the Kyoto accord, policymakers will be able to plug its parameters into the virtual Earth, then skip ahead 1,000 years to get a handle on what effect those policies might have. That kind of concrete data could revolutionize environmental science. By digitally cloning the Earth, we might just be able to save...
...spite of their separate themes, the two discs and the songs that make them up flow seamlessly into one another, effectively conjuring the illusion that the listener is actually at a concert. The band is brilliant and entirely in accord with Difranco’s intense and jazzy guitar playing style, while she fearlessly delivers her no-nonsense, thought-provoking lyrics...

Created by Venetian sculptor Tullio Lombardo between 1490 and 1495, the 6-ft. 3-in., 1,800-lb. statue broke into several pieces, with the arms and legs sustaining particularly bad fractures. Curators have determined that the pedestal buckled of its own accord. The statue, which the Met acquired in 1936, is expected to be restored and put back on display in two years, with evidence of the damage visible to only the most discerning eye. Adam seemed to take the tumble with aplomb: his hair, a solid mass of marble curls, remained...
