...some wastage among overly optimistic users but shouldn't otherwise interfere too greatly with the normal course of coital events. An even greater advantage, or at least a more naturalistic one: unlike the injectable drugs, which when efficacious produce an erection regardless of context (famously proved by Dr. Giles Brindley, a leading British impotence researcher, who once demonstrated a successful experimental treatment by dropping his trousers in front of hundreds of astonished colleagues at a conference), Viagra merely paves the way for the possibility of arousal. Erections must still be achieved the old-fashioned way, whether through desire, attraction, physical...

...match radar signatures to specific satellite shapes. These, they hope, can some day be used to program a computer to recognize and identify radar signatures more quickly than human operators. Their work is proceeding slowly. "Once you get past a few simple shapes like cones, cylinders and spheres," says Brindley, "the mathematical analysis goes to hell and becomes incredibly difficult...
