...will end up being the same sort weasel the previous critic was (I should mention that the previous music critic for TIME is a pretty cool guy). But inevitably there are moments where you feel the weasel metamorphosis happening. So I'm ushered into this sterile aircraft hangar-like space where the artists are sequestered, like jurors on lengthy murder trials, before their appointed times on stage. The place reminds me of the building where they store the alien ship in "Independence Day" - it's like a Latin Area 54, cut off from the world and public view. Most...
...comeback--sort of. The fiery death of the Hindenburg put an end to the hydrogen-filled balloon for passenger travel, and even when the lifting gas was replaced by helium, passengers never again trusted the big airships. The last Zeppelin made, the LZ 130, rolled out of the hangar in Friedrichshafen, near the Swiss-German border, in 1938, and it was eventually turned into scrap.

...recent patent woes have not slowed the research at BlackLight headquarters, a 53,000-square-foot former Lockheed Martin airplane hangar in New Jersey, which Mills describes as "state of the art" and values at over $15 million...
