...microwave, it won't melt. The microwaves go right through it. But if there's as much as a drop of water on the ice, the drop will heat up and melt the whole cube." After two years of painstaking research and experimentation, Hajek identified a metallic compound - he won't say what it is - that functions like the drop of water on the ice cube. Hajek's compound kick-starts the melting process and can then be removed without a trace. "You need to know something about microwaves, something about glass and combine the two," Hajek says. "The solution...
...determined to win their respect--and their gratitude. When Patrick took over the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 1998, they all got to share in the fund-raising clout of the Kennedy name.

The latest Israeli actions follow two attempted bombing attacks in Jerusalem as well as a mortar attack on a Jewish settlement in Gaza. And Sunday's clashes at Jerusalem's holy sites - Israeli police entered the Muslim compound atop the Temple Mount after Palestinian youths threw stones down on Jewish worshippers gathered on the plaza below, at the Western Wall of Judaism's holiest temple - have added gasoline to the embers...
...latest exchanges come on top of two attempted bombings in Jerusalem and a mortar attack on Israeli settlers in Kfar Darom in Gaza. But in the realm of perceptions, no event in recent months carries quite as much symbolic power as Sunday's clashes in the Al Aqsa mosque compound atop Jerusalem's Temple Mount. For the Israelis, it was a simple case of sending police up to the Mosque compound to stop stones being rained down onto Jewish worshippers gathered on the plaza in front of the Western Wall of Judaism's holiest temple. Palestinians - and the wider Arab...
