Compared with previous technologies, which suspended DNA fragments in gel and decoded them using electrophoresis, the new procedure attaches thousands of DNA fragments onto tiny one-micron beads. Four different-colored dyes bind at specific locations, depending on which of the four DNA bases is present, allowing scientists to scan the sample with an epifluorescence microscope to determine its base sequence...
CONFESSED. DENNIS RADER, 60, serial killer whose self-coined nickname was BTK, for "bind, torture, kill"; to the first-degree murders of 10 people between 1974 and '91; in a courtroom in Wichita, Kans.

But since we are in this bind, why don't we do this: put a small amount of money in the budget for ABM procurement, but state in the budget, and in my written report to the Congress, that none of those funds will be spent and no decision will be made to deploy an ABM system until...
