...Taliban then overpowered the Alliance guards, killing them with their own weapons. Dave mowed down three more Taliban, then sprinted to the main building along the north wall, where two Red Cross workers had just begun a meeting with the prison governor.

Hughes runs his experiments in the rugged, volcanic Jemez mountains that surround Los Alamos--which, as an ultramarathon runner, he knows intimately. He sets up a laser and fires a burst of light so precise it consists of a single photon. The photon flies at (what else?) the speed of light to a finely calibrated receiver 2 km away, which collects it like a catcher snagging a Randy Johnson fastball. By sending a series of photons polarized at different angles, Hughes can transmit information: each particle represents a single bit--a 1 or a 0, in computer language...

Raised on the promise of an economic bubble that burst in the early '90s, this artistic generation is both wide-eyed and dark-spirited?and creatively seizing the moment with a large survey exhibition, "Facts of Life," at London's Hayward Gallery. "It is a time in which there is a profound sense of anxiety about the future as well as a strong sense of self-reflection and analysis," says curator Rachel...
