...tropical sky, night falls almost instantly, and the navigational instruments now cast a greenish glow around the skipper. A fixed-wing "Islander" heads back to base at Horn Island as a Coastwatch helicopter (or "helo") code-named Lima 51 flies in to assist in the search; a forward-looking infra-red (flir) detection system in the helo's nose checks out the hides that have been cut in the mangroves around the island. No luck. Returning to base, the helo calls in to report that it's clocked a vessel 10 nautical mi. away, at 108 degrees. There's restrained...
...unsettling sense that something is not quite right permeates the play from the very beginning, lurking in the background like the greenish ocean-wave-printed walls on an otherwise unremarkable set. Even ordinary, everyday conversations about breakfast and the weather are disrupted by uncomfortably long pauses. Stanley’s connection to Goldberg and McCann is never explained; neither is Meg’s arbitrary fear of wheelbarrows...

...many natural attractions of Vieques, the most magnificent is Mosquito Bay, the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world, where the roots of vitamin-rich mangrove trees create a perfect breeding ground for tiny sea creatures called dinoflagellates. These organisms light up the water at night with a greenish glow (though they are easiest to see when the moon is dark). Located to the island's south, the bay can be toured with Island Adventures (BIOBAY.COM) or on kayaks led by local guides. Once there, even jaded travelers are shocked into wonderment. Stick your hand in the water, and watch...
...Baghdad would most likely start under cover of darkness. U.S. troops, brought in by helicopters, would seek a secure foothold from which to expand their presence in the city. The biggest advantage U.S. troops would have in downtown Baghdad would be their night-vision devices, giving them a greenish but clear-eyed view of a nighttime world. Once inside Baghdad, the Americans would start clearing buildings one by one, from the top floor down. They would probably use the technique that Israeli forces employed during fighting earlier this year in the West Bank's Balata refugee camp. Once inside...
