Do these rights encompass abortion? If not, is contraception excluded too? As for the four Justices who regularly support Roe, only John Paul Stevens took an active part in the proceedings.

This need to look over his shoulder prevents Bush from taking as much credit as he might for his early successes. "If they draw too much attention to this approach of taking what you can get from the Democrats in Congress," says a Bush adviser outside Government, "they're going to attract more fire from the conservatives."

Over the years, computer scientists have devised an impressive array of mathematical techniques, or algorithms, for rendering 3-D images on a 2-D computer screen. Traditionally, these algorithms -- for drawing things in perspective, for example, removing surfaces hidden from the viewer's line of sight or painting finished objects with texture and shade -- have been encoded in programs and stored in computers as software. As such, they used up massive quantities of computer time. To draw a simple object ten times a second, the minimum needed...
