...among the moderates and independent voters who will decide most of the close congressional contests coming this fall. That means even a small helping of Rudy could turn or win late-closing races in key states. And the G.O.P.'s new data could help the party decide where to deploy its promising pitchman. Giuliani, whose post-Sept. 11 leadership has landed him a $3 million book deal, a knighthood from the Queen of England and speaking offers galore, is likely to get even more exposure. Expect his face to be a regular in paid TV spots this fall...
...growing disparity between U.S. and European capabilities has profound implications. NATO has always grappled with the issue of "interoperability" - whether U.S. tanks, for example, can fire Belgian ammo. Such problems can only grow as the U.S. services deploy high-tech "next-generation" weapons and adapt their war-fighting doctrines accordingly. As Europe's capabilities atrophy, dependence on America to do the dirty work will deepen. But dependence breeds resentment on both sides, and already in Europe voices can be heard decrying America's go-it-alone interventionism. Across the Atlantic the notion of a feckless Europe unable and unwilling...

The $30-a-month service (Verizon calls it the Express Network) will send data to PCs with special wireless cards, and even to some cell phones, more than twice as fast as an ordinary 56K modem...
...pounds of TNT, the Qassam-2 poses a serious strategic threat. The reason? If fired from the West Bank, it's capable of reaching a number of few Israeli towns. Also, response time would be limited: while Israel would have a few minutes worth of warning to deploy defenses for attacks launched from far-off Iraq or Iran, it would take mere seconds for a missile fired from the West Bank to reach Israeli territory. And while the lumbering Scud launchers can be observed from satellites, the fold-up Qassam-2 can be concealed and assembled within minutes...
