Sometimes Norton is the soft guy: a lawyer helping a porn king (Larry Flynt), a fellow whose girlfriend falls for a convict (Everyone Says I Love You), a despondent drone surrendering to the spell of a pummeling anarchist (Fight Club). Sometimes he's the bad boy: an ex-con luring a respectable pal into the gambling underworld (Rounders) or a neo-Nazi with an impressionable kid brother (American History X). And once or twice--in his heralded movie debut Primal Fear, for example--he is both mild and wild, with schizophrenic tendencies bubbling up at whim or will...

...GLOBAL HAWK, which is under development, is a $45 million drone with a 116-ft. wingspan that can fly for more than a day, scouring terrain and relaying video to a ground station 3,000 miles away. Last March a Hawk on a simulated mission surprised its manned F-16 chase plane by rolling onto its back at 400 m.p.h., diving and smashing into the California desert. An investigation found that the plane had even prepared to die: it shut its engine down, erased classified computer data and set its flaps for a death spiral...
...Force pilots argue that there has to be a "man in the loop" - a person in the cockpit.

Navy vessels equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and seasoned divers struggled to answer what were, initially, unanswerable questions. The Deep Drone, an underwater robot outfitted with sonar and cameras, located the crucial black boxes--the flight-data recorder and cockpit-voice recorders--within days. The flight-data recorder from the 767-300 is a new design that stores 55 measurements of the plane's movements and control inputs--as much as five times more than previous models--that should help investigators piece together what went wrong...
