...movements of U.S., British and other troops led to some speculation last week that the ground campaign was about to begin. Once it does start, the battle is expected to last four to eight weeks.

With a roar of well-tuned exhaust, I took off for a test drive to Hell and $ back.

Hoffman, 51, allegedly obtained the technology, designed for identifying missiles by their exhaust plumes, while working as an engineer on a Star Wars project in Los Angeles. If convicted, he faces a $1 million fine and ten years in prison. All the Japanese firms have denied knowing that Hoffman had no export license for the software...
