...even if these videos were balanced portrayals of Muslim life in America, very few Pakistanis, Indonesians or Saudis would believe them. The distinct anti-American atmosphere in much of the Islamic world, coupled with the dubious nature of the content, will compel most to pass these saccharine shows off as propaganda pieces. Skeptical foreigners wary of United States intervention around the world won’t all of a sudden trust the state department because, in place of a heavy-set balding white man, an olive-skinned American in a headscarf tells them that we’re really...

Imagine a hundred-page volume about the basketball player or Crimson Key Society member in your entryway and the thought seems all the more astounding...
...crime-busting technologies, and one that is also the subject of disputes, is a procedure known as brain fingerprinting (see box). The principle behind the technique is that when the brain processes an image it recognizes (as opposed to one it has never seen before), it emits distinct electrical impulses that are detectable by scalp sensors. A positive response to a photo of a crime scene may mean a suspect was there before; a negative response may help confirm an alibi...
