Perhaps there is another Spy-Seagal similarity here. Both are adept at high- wire innuendo -- Spy as a key to its satirical japery, Seagal as a spur to his myth. If he did make these remarks, he may have intended them as macho provocations, as sick jokes or as acid tests -- the ultimate Spy prank...

...world Tommy portrays is bygone. People don't drop acid much anymore; electronic-video gamesters have crowded out pinball wizards; a baby conceived, like the title character, at the start of World War II is officially a pre- boomer and apt to be a grandparent today.

Those are still the characteristics of virtually all the world's electric vehicles, which are powered by cumbersome battery systems. The traditional lead-and-acid batteries require 100 times the weight and 30 times the space of conventional gasoline tanks to push even the lightest cars a fraction of the distance -- less than 100 miles at 25 m.p.h. Nickel-cadmium batteries provide 50% more power but at eight times the price (around $30,000, replaceable every two or three years). Sodium-sulphur batteries offer three times the energy but run both hot (at temperatures of 600 degrees F) and volatile...
