...easy to say that Hart's private life is irrelevant to his viability as a candidate; but so long as candidates advertise their character as key selling points, the press must publish the negative facts as well as the positive ones...
Electromagnets are also crucial to fusion energy, which depends on fusing atoms (the same process that powers the sun), rather than splitting them. Key to one promising fusion process, which is under development in several countries, is a "bottle" composed not of any material substance but of powerful magnetic fields, generated at great expense by conventional electromagnets. Such fields are the only envelopes that can contain and squeeze atoms together at the hundred-million-degree temperature required to initiate fusion. But superconducting magnets, especially warm-temperature ones, could produce more intense fields at less expense and thus could "help make...

Former National Security Adviser John Poindexter, who was kept informed by North about almost everything he did, poses the most direct peril to the President.
