...committed a capital crime. Bush went through with his military speech and then called Wilson back. He would probably recommend a reprieve. The word soon went out to reporters. Message: I care. McGinn, who has long insisted he is innocent of both crimes, was pulled away from the execution chamber half an hour before he was scheduled to die and not too long after he'd eaten what he thought was his last meal: a double cheeseburger and a Dr Pepper...

Nevertheless, a physicist, Lijun Wang of the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, N.J., says he revved up a beam of light as much as 300 times its normal speed, using a special chamber filled with cesium gas.
