...Those complications, however, haven't stopped the political sparring overseas. Last Thursday the Democrats and Republicans Abroad held a debate in Hong Kong's Ritz-Carlton hotel attended by a spirited audience more than double the size that showed up in previous election years. One spectator was Tom Goetz, a former member of Republicans Abroad whose anger over Iraq, where his son is a U.S. intelligence officer, has prompted him to support Kerry. "I never saw this much interest and conflict among the two sides," he says, looking around the crowded ballroom. For Americans in 2004, political passion doesn...

Several cities boast of being the first wi-fi burg in the U.S. Grand Haven, Mich. (pop. 10,900), contends it locked up the title when it covered its 7 sq. mi. last March. But it's not the only player on the field. Cities such as Half Moon Bay, Calif.; Athens, Ga.; and Chaska, Minn., let folks roam the wireless Web from street corners all around town.

Doctors admit that some of their best ideas for preventing early delivery haven't worked very well. A drug called Ritodrine, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1980, successfully stops preterm labor in many women, but subsequent studies have shown that it has no overall effect on a baby's health or survival.

Rio Rancho, N.M., has one, though not on the scale of Spokane's; ditto for Grand Haven, Mich. (see sidebar), as well as Lafayette, Louis and Cerritos in California. And bigger players are moving in all the time. Cook County, Ill., is planning a massive 940-sq.-mi. cloud that would light up all of Chicago. Philadelphia announced a humongous hot zone of its own in September...
