Outwitting the Computer. The first hint of trouble came five seconds after the $500 million plane lifted off from Southern California's Edwards Air Force Base.

Dr. Hinkle reported to the American College of Physicians that the young women's ECGs seemed to be at least...
Also, some "necessary" parts of a building, such as the furnace, are not counted in the base property. One point of dispute is whether the motel's cocktail bar qualifies under this provision. City officials claim the bar is part of the motel's operation and not "necessary...
