...prepared to leave, Cindy McCain spoke of her concern about the situation there. "There's a very serious land-mine issue now because there are land mines being laid as we speak," she said. "There's a whole bunch of things going on right now, and as we begin to move refugees from Point A to Point B or try to feed refugees who are stuck in pockets around the country, we're running into the issue of the blowing up of humanitarian vehicles that are trying to get to the refugees.

...guess is that Atlanta probably bought a bunch of signs back in the late 70s, early 80s and maybe weren't aware of the change," Hecox says.

The Morse features the world's largest collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), of lamp fame. I didn't expect much--maybe a bunch of overly precious glasswork. But I was moved to find that Tiffany had a dark, philosophical streak. His Lunette (circa 1900) is a leaded glass fixture with an organic, unfinished quality. It's gritty, not pretty...

...with the immediacy of the push of a button by a future U.S. President. It's not quite a "death ray" but it's the closest existing technology can get to that fantasy weapon. Still, skeptics roll their eyes and say that the report's authors are like a bunch of junior high school boys who have seen all the James Bond movies and believe that if a weapon can be built, it must be built...
