Even if such a system could survive, points out another Stanford physicist, Wolfgang Panofsky, it is "infeasible" to design a defense that will intercept all missiles. "It is possible to develop a system that can shoot down one missile, but that is a long cry from developing a system that does not leak," he says. Such shortcomings in a nuclear defense system clearly would be disastrous. Even if a system were 90% effective, the leakage of just a fraction of Moscow's 8,500 or so warheads could be devastating.

...allow residents to opt out of having phone books delivered to their front doorstep. “You and all your friends look up most of your phone numbers on the Internet now,” said Seidel, who earned an urban planning degree from the Graduate School of Design in 2001 and won a Council seat last fall. “The Internet has become the new phone book,” Seidel said. “If that’s true for any individual, then why do we need to produce [books of] 1000, 1500 pages...
...higher education rapidly,” said Faust, who will receive an honorary degree from Peking University during the trip.

One of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, it aims to prevent terrorism and reduce the chances of counterfeiting. "The 9/11 hijackers obtained 30 different driver's licenses and IDs, and used 364 aliases," Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff has noted.
