...Wales has carried out 292 DNA dragnets since it began counting in 1995. So far, 61--about 20% of all sweeps--have produced significant matches, helping push an investigation toward a suspect and, on numerous occasions, a conviction. In 1998 Str??cklingen, Germany, undertook the largest collection to date. More than 16,000 men in a rural town were sampled after a girl, 11, was raped and strangled.

The lone exception was the Army National Guard, which came in at 98% strength--342,000 instead of 350,000--on that date. The shortfall was largely attributed to the Guard's missing by 5,000 its recruiting goal of 56,000 soldiers. It was the first time in a decade that the Guard fell short. But then came the even worse performance of October and November...
