...doesn't mean Democrats on Capitol Hill aren't keeping busy. On the contrary, since they took control of both legislative chambers in 2006, party leaders have devoted a lot of time and energy passing bills, on everything from global warming and children's health care to embryonic-stem-cell research and a windfall tax on oil companies.

The Lightning, on the other hand, has benefited from the wonders of nanotechnology. Its 30 batteries are made of lithium-titanate nanoparticles, a development from the conventional lithium-ion cell; they boast a range of over 185 miles...

Credit the industry, though, with getting closer. Granting cell-phone users months of free access to a catalogue of songs, for instance, Nokia will launch its Comes With Music service later this year, reimbursing artists and their labels from expected new sales of its music-compatible phones; a similar service, available through Korea's LG, comes out this summer. Offers like those won't put an end to all illegal...
