Perhaps the most dramatic use of the technology is in the design of new chemicals and drugs. By showing how the molecules of the active ingredients in a drug attach themselves, like keys in locks, to target molecules in the body, computer models can help researchers see how a change in molecular structure will affect a drug's behavior. Says Robert Langridge, who heads the computer-graphics laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco: "I call it computer-assisted insight...
...first we should make a couple of things clear. This kind of magnetic stimulation has nothing to do with the little bar magnets that arthritis sufferers sometimes wrap around their wrists or attach to their backs. Instead rTMS relies on sophisticated electromagnets similar to the ones used in MRI scanners, but these are small enough to hold in your hand and don't make all that racket...

Categorizing such methods as "abuse" belittles the attempts to demand accountability from upper-level Administration officials for other prison atrocities. Jorma Skeen Memphis...

...downside: it can't play encrypted songs purchased online, and it's a serious challenge to put together. To get started, you attach a ZonePlayer--a 10-lb. white box with a built-in amplifier and wireless receiver--to your PC and stereo. I needed technical support to get it to work. With a starter kit costing a pricey $1,199, Sonos really makes sense only for digital-music junkies with money to burn. --By Anita Hamilton
