...your phasers to sell. Star Trek-abilia, including Spock's ears and Captain Kirk's chair, went on display in London last week to gear up for an October auction marking the series' 40th birthday...

Illinois Republican Mark Kirk, head of a GOP centrist group in the House, argues that suburban voters are crucial to the long-term growth of the party, and has put forward a centrist, "suburban agenda" aimed at drawing them in.
