...dark energy" and "dark matter," respectively. The LHC, by examining the subatomic building blocks of the universe, might explain these mysteries and many others, much as a doctor diagnoses a patient by studying blood work. But according to Tejinder Virdee, a particle physicist from Imperial College London, the best-case scenario will be if the machine uncovers something completely unexpected. "Nature can surprise us... we have to be ready to detect anything it throws at us," he said. "You can make conjectures, but unless you verify the conjectures, they are metaphysics. That's why many of us haven't minded...
...Moreover, the delay is further evidence that defense choices are always made on a sliding scale, balancing costs against risks. While Air Force officials have been arguing for years that new tankers were needed yesterday, Gates made it clear Wednesday that's not quite the case. Stepped-up funding for the aging tanker fleet, he said, will ensure they're kept safely flying until the Air Force finally gets its act together. Even Lichte, who began his career flying KC-135s more than three decades ago, conceded as much. "The 135 is doing pretty good," he said...

But in a concession to Ward, it also added: "While we refute any allegations of collusion with the Kenyan Government, we could and should have handled this case better...
...Having just returned from another trip to Kenya to follow up two clues that turned out to be hoaxes, Ward told TIME that he hopes new DNA collection technology will help solve the case. He said that Scotland Yard was prepared to continue investigations, and that several new leads have yet to be explored. But he's been through this before. Sometimes, he says, he feels as if his search for justice faces insurmountable obstacles; now 74, he says he often vows to let the case rest. But then some new tip will arrive in the mail, or a piece...
...physical evidence in the case suggests that after Julie Ward was hacked to death, her remains were set on fire. She was probably raped before her murder. Yet in the immediate aftermath of the crime, the Kenyan authorities refused to declare the death a murder, insisting that Julie either killed herself or was torn apart by wild animals. When Ward presented evidence to the contrary, pointing out that animals or dead women cannot start fires, a British Foreign Office official told him that his daughter was probably struck by lightning (This has also since been ruled...
