Assad, a secular politician who crushed his homegrown fundamentalists, did not publicly embrace Hizballah; he entrusted relations to his intelligence chiefs. The group has grown less extreme in recent years, sending delegates to the Lebanese parliament, but Hizballah is still closely tied to Tehran and remains as determined as ever to fight Israel.

...seconds, BETA captures enough data to fill a CD-ROM, which adds up to roughly 22 million megabytes of data per day--an overwhelming volume far beyond human capacity to comprehend and evaluate. For that reason, the incoming radio waves are digitized and read into a custom-made, homegrown supercomputer, designed and assembled by Horowitz and his students, that sorts through the input and discards cosmic radio "noise...
