...your profile of sarah palin [Sept. 15]: I read in disbelief the petty, malicious comments about her repetitious jokes, her husband (Obama's campaign has no such problems?), her 3-in. heels and her speeches given while "leaking amniotic fluid." What will you write about next? Perhaps more about her fashion sense or-please-her bodily functions? Would it be more acceptable if she wore 2-in. heels? Will all women running for public office now be subject, along with their families, to this level of physical scrutiny and irrelevant analysis? Is there any chance that Time can become once...
...details of her views matter less than the grit of her story. Whatever its relevance to working in the White House, there is an undeniable power in the tale of a woman who knows how to carve up a moose and can give a speech while leaking amniotic fluid, just hours before giving birth to a fifth child. Still, her first week on the stump clarified some things: She never banned library books, though she raised the possibility in a conversation with a librarian. She never joined a political party that openly discussed Alaska's secession from the U.S., though...
According to Sidney Jones, a Jakarta-based terrorism expert with the International Crisis Group, the breakdown of negotiations may have freed the most radicalized faction of a fluid coalition of homegrown separatists, criminals, and foreign jihadis trained by Jemaah Islamiyah, the al-Qaeda-linked international terrorist group.

Such cooperation is unlikely to continue, Jones says...
...wind tunnel to find the one with the smallest drag coefficient. It eventually settled on a nylon estane base fabric and a thin polyurethane membrane for the panels. Speedo hired ANSYS Fluent - known most recently for its work on the Formula One team BMW Sauber - which used computational fluid dynamics to measure the parts of the body with the most drag. And biomechanists used flume testing (basically a lab set up in a pool, measuring drag as a current runs over the swimmer or mannequin) to measure exactly how much time each modification shed for the swimmer When I tried...
...scoreboard showed the final tally for the host team, an awe-inspiring 286.125 under a scoring system that debuted at this Olympics, the Chinese squad dissolved into tears - a rare show of emotion. The tears flowed particularly freely for Zou Kai, a 1.5m tall Olympic first-timer, whose fluid performance on the horizontal bar capped the night's performance. "It's fantastic," said the native of Sichuan province, who spent nervous hours waiting to hear that his parents were safe after the May earthquake struck. "I told myself, 'Feel free and be yourself,' and it worked." (Zou, evidently...
