Microwaves, the short radio waves that have been adapted to cook roasts and heat frozen dinners in compact kitchen ovens, are also used to bug conversations in nearby rooms or vehicles. Metal resonators buried around a room will vibrate from sounds in the air. The microwaves are bounced off the resonator, carrying the vibrations back to the eavesdropper's receiver. The spoken words are then reproduced electronically. Such gear has allegedly been used for a U.S. surveillance project called Gamma Guppy that has tried to eavesdrop on conversations conducted by members of the Soviet Politburo in their limousines.

That would further fuel inflation...

Except for screeching herring gulls and other hungry birds, the only sign of life on this blustery (20° F.) winter morning was a small column of people bundled against the cold and quietly stalking across a frozen marsh. "Hey, there's a blackback!" exclaimed their leader. "And look over there, some goldeneyes." Fighting through thick reeds and tall grass, the bird watchers soon spotted other feathered friends: half a dozen stout-bodied, short-necked diving ducks called white-winged scoters, another type of waterfowl known...
