...pilot is lost; the Chinese plane is forced to land on U.S. soil. The incident occurs at a moment when China is about to supply a package of sophisticated weapons to Cuba (possibly including the very same model spy plane now in U.S. hands); is planning to deploy a missile shield that would neutralize the U.S. nuclear arsenal; and has signaled that curbing U.S. regional ambitions is to become the organizing principle of its military doctrine. Imagine further that the incident comes two years after Chinese bombs had destroyed (albeit inadvertently) a U.S. embassy in Europe... It's unlikely Americans...

...human advisers, OnStar provides a range of services, starting with a basic safety option that for $199 a year gives drivers the comfort of knowing that Big Brother OnStar is up there watching: advisers are alerted and call in assistance when the air bags of an OnStar-equipped car deploy. They can also unlock doors when keys get lost, diagnose engine problems or even find a stolen car.

...metallic wings. Mylar petals sprout from it--though the prototype used in the April launch will have just two petals. Mounted atop a reconfigured Russian ICBM and launched from a sub in the Barents Sea, the Cosmos 1 will fly to an altitude of 260 miles, where it will deploy the wings and float for a minute or so. If all goes well, the wings will then be jettisoned and the sphere aerobraked back to Earth, its bounce-down on Russian soil cushioned by air bags...

...Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons--many of whom have undergone various forms of torture and most of whom are being held without trial. And while the accords called for limited withdrawal of Israeli troops from some Palestinian territories, the Israeli military held absolute authority to re-deploy troops in the West Bank if it felt it was necessary--a right which it has not hesitated to use in recent months...
