...true maverick, and not just a liberal Republican or a Bush-basher. Despite all polls to the contrary, he calls for ever more troops in Iraq. He has joined Bush to fight hard-line conservatives and the bulk of the GOP on immigration reform. He is one of the only GOP’ers to say America should be worried about global warming. And he always arouses the ire of fundraising Republicans and Democrats alike by his campaign finance crusade, which produced not only real legislation but also, through his aggressive chairmanship of the Indian Affairs Committee, help bring...

She’s lived the bulk of her American experience impoverished, ostracized by her poor English-speaking skills, feeling culturally dissonant in a structure (the US Army) that demands conformity—and she’ll be damned if she’s going to let skin color get in the way of that.Now my father...

...batteries are not only environmentally friendly but they're also cheap. Happonen says he will be able to sell his SoftBatterys for about a penny each once he hits mass production. Today's button batteries sell in bulk for about 20? each. Because the 0.4-mm-thin SoftBattery is made from paper, Enfucell can make sheets of the stuff and size them to specific applications. An average size would be about...
