Information, as any hacker will tell you, wants to be free. From Web-enabled PDAs to wireless networks, new technology is making data freer than ever. But if the data are more accessible to you, they're more accessible to anyone who knows where to look for them. To keep valuable information out of the wrong hands, more businesses are turning to the ancient art of encryption, making security software one of the few growth sectors in business technology. Over the past three years, sales of encryption products have jumped 86%, to $248 million--a figure that will rise...
...Hanks, Sam Mendes hardly cuts an imposing figure. The soft-spoken, moon-faced Englishman who directed Road to Perdition and American Beauty, which won Best Director and Best Picture Oscars, is more Cambridge humanities lecturer than drill sergeant: he pays attention to his actors' needs. "Tom is freer in front of the camera, wants to improvise more," Mendes explains. "Paul needs to be more precise, to know exactly what you want." Neither man seems a natural choice for the hard-boiled '30s gangsters they play in Perdition, but Mendes relished finding the inner Mafioso in both stars: "With Paul...

She's smiling when they scoot back onto the platform, in smart half-turns that lead to a triple twist for her. Their movements are freer, more familiar; competition is giving way to camaraderie. For the first time the two touch, though only to push the other off into a tandem of quadruple spins. Facing each other at the end of the second dance chorus, they hop again, this time like gleefully agitated kids...
Childs has already completed much of the design work on 7 World Trade Center, the other office tower that caught fire and later collapsed on Sept. 11. Excavation on that site began last week. Unlike the Twin Towers, that structure was built by Silverstein, so he had a freer hand to begin construction there. But he and Childs have adjusted the design in important ways in response to concerns from the other players...
