...potential threats. This much you can count on: some will be elaborate but ineffectual (can you say Maginot Line?), some will be all hype, but some will improve our sense of safety. Because terrorists can pick targets anywhere, counterterrorism has to defend everywhere--from airports to office buildings to cargo ships to hospitals. Sept. 11 shed an urgent light on our vulnerabilities and galvanized us to protect ourselves with something better than duct tape. So get ready for the next wave of high-tech defense: radiation detectors, Internet safeguards, handheld anthrax "sniffers." There's no panacea, but in a world...
Whether an outfit is priced at $300 or $30, what's remarkable about mainstream designers' and retailers' maternity wear is that it's virtually indistinguishable from their regular collections--hence the confusion at Glow Girl and in countless maternity sections stocked with crisp blouses, business suits, cargo pants and halter tops. All the season's fashions are available, with just a little extra room at the bust and the belly. "Before, you were supposed to be another person when you became a mother," says Mathilda Jonsson, designer of H&M's Mama line. "Now you want to keep your personality...
...Guatemala border. There, a vicious army of Central American gangbangers called the Mara Salvatrucha are known for assaulting, robbing and raping passing migrants. From there, Uxpanapa clients are often loaded onto freight trains for a two-day journey to Veracruz, Mexico.

...domestic labels have had to double their output compared with European clothiers'. The endless search for the next new thing, dubbed shinhatsubai in Japanese, affects everything from orange juice at the convenience store, which contains less pulp in the summer months, to ever so slightly different shades of khaki cargo pants for each season. Some fashionistas sniff that mix-and-match collaboration is simply this year's shinhatsubai. But the trend's champions argue that this craze might have a longer shelf life because it allows both the haute designers and street labels to diversify into each other's audiences...
...distinguished only by a giant portrait of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il gazing beatifically over shabby tarmac. Though unpicturesque, Sunan has been providing U.S. spy satellites with plenty of photo opportunities of late. On at least six occasions between April and early July, satellites spotted Iranian IL-76 cargo planes being loaded with wooden crates at Sunan. The frequency of the flights was unusual?normally no more than two flights a year take off from Sunan bound for Iran, according to U.S. government sources. But of greater concern was the size and shape of the crates, which indicated their...
