...following morning, I saw the otherworldly experience of those who live and work in a section of the city hermetically sealed off from the chaos outside. The air-conditioned offices of the press center were cool, efficient and orderly, making the noise, heat and acrid stench of car exhaust throughout Baghdad seem a thousand miles away. The officers on hand processed my credentials quickly and easily, and joked around with my bodyguard...
...onetime reformers who in 1994 unseated a calcified and corrupted Democratic majority. Washington scandals, it seems, have been following a Moore's law of their own, coming at a faster clip every time there is a shift in control. It took 40 years for the House Democrats to exhaust their goodwill. It may take only 12 years for the Republicans to get there...

And supporters hope that increased usage of hydrogen would alleviate our dependence on foreign oil, if we aren’t fuelling up with Saudi gas. This is the popular allure of hydrogen fuel: cleaner than Dick Cheney’s dinner plate, and not beholden to unstable and perhaps unfriendly governments...

But until we get there, a variety of transitional technologies will try to squeeze as much efficiency as possible out of traditional engines. All major manufacturers are now rolling out hybrid cars that combine electric or alternative-fuel-burning engines with standard gas and diesel engines. Loremo believes that...
