...generally look to made-for-TV mini-series for ungilded truth. Remember, if not for scurrilous, insensitive, sensationalized TV movies about the (liberal, Democrat) Kennedys, we would have to clone five Michael Jacksons to fill the holes in the sweeps-stunt calendar. If Americans were going to depend on The Reagans as a history lesson--rather than as a campy Washington version of I Love the 80s--the Republic is doomed. And if you think CBS is interested in coddling only the left, I have three letters...
...Researchers at the National Physical Laboratory in Britain have developed a nickel-phosphorus compound called NPL Super Black that absorbs 99.65% of visible light. Black paint absorbs only about 97.5% of visible light--positively shiny by comparison. Not just cool, the new black is useful too. Precision optical instruments depend on eliminating any and all stray reflected light to get their readings. The blacker the black, the less reflected light, the better the data. That makes NPL Super Black a pretty bright idea...

Embracing a single payer system of health insurance that does not depend on employment will not only provide universal coverage, but boost our international competitiveness, stimulate our economy at home and let workers keep more of their...

Sept. 11 taught us that the spectrum of potential threats is as wide as the imagination. The same could be said for vulnerabilities to the computers we depend on. Families must guard their computers against novice vandals planting viruses or against more advanced intruders leeching your computing power to launch a cyberattack on someone else. Despite the spate of devastating viruses this year--Slammer in January, Blaster and Sobig in August--the threat has evolved past the 17-year-old hacker, past the lone thief who steals and reveals credit-card data. Businesses must now watch for organized-crime groups...
