...that operates the thing works by constantly beaming low-frequency radio signals to the computer, telling where it is. That way, Windows knows where you want the cursor to be even before you touch the screen. Once you do put pen to virtual paper, a pressure sensor starts the flow of digital ink. Journal takes note of the pen's position 133 times a second, so the line looks very smooth...
...system works by sucking in an air sample, analyzing its components, then putting out a report at fixed intervals, up to 48 times a day. At its core is a flow cytometer--or cell sorter--that Langlois co-invented in the late 1970s. The device shines laser beams on chromosomes within cells to make a quick genetic ID. A spin-off of early research into mapping the human genome, the cell sorter is now a standard tool for diagnosing AIDS, leukemia and other cancers. Langlois even took it to Chernobyl to assess workers' genetic damage from radiation exposure after...
Evil has its physics. It is a current that passes through the world, and through the human heart. It manifests itself sometimes in violent acts; it often makes itself invisible, like an electromagnetic flow, a dark, humming force field. Evil is much more active and surprising than gravity, but like gravity, it is mysterious. It may hide itself in deep and ancient caves...

The change is accomplished by actors in military garb who practically march on and off stage. If there is some deeper meaning hinted at by this and other similar scene changes, it isn’t apparent—but the way they make the show drag...
...ballooned to 800 analysts, technicians and covert operatives, double what it was before the attack. Nearby conference rooms and snack bars have been commandeered for workstations. A financial team is feeding bank-transfer intelligence to Operation Green Quest, a Treasury Department program to block bin Laden's cash flow. Agency scientists are also using antiterror gizmos like OASIS, a computer that scans thousands of foreign TV broadcasts and plucks out terror suspects by the sound of their voices...
