...have been watching movies about traveling to other planets for years [Jan. 26]. The urge to explore space is in our blood, and only the uneducated can stop us from going. It is certain that we will benefit from the knowledge we gain. We should embark on this venture not alone but as part of a cooperative, worldwide effort. It sounds like a pipe dream, but there is enough out there for all of us. Robert King Edgerton...
...Tight Spot in Pakistan Your story about attempts on the life of Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf showed what a precarious position he is in [Jan 12]. His support of the U.S. in the war in Afghanistan and his efforts to curb the influence of Islamic fundamentalists and extremists in Pakistan, in accordance with the wishes of the White House, do not make him very popular among these groups.

People are sick of getting ripped off at the theater and the DVD store. When we see movie stars getting millions for making one film and studio execs living like movie stars, the purchasers of bootleg DVDs say, "Who's getting ripped off? I'm the one paying a bundle when I spend $20 to see a movie and buy a bag of popcorn." Who cares if the industry loses...
...course, is whether the current boom will last, or whether Chinese stocks will simply prove to be the next bubble waiting to pop. Already, there are some ominous signs of irrational exuberance. For example, a firm called China Green Holdings, which began trading for the first time on Jan. 13, became the most popular IPO in Hong Kong history, with retail investors placing $4 billion worth of orders - or enough to buy 1,604 times more shares than the company had undertaken to sell. One investor was May Wong, a 50-year-old garment importer-exporter in Hong Kong...
