...Finally, only one song could wrap up this festival of frenzy. I put my pen and note pad down and busted out with the familiar three jumps and three nods of the head every time the words "Bye, Bye, Bye!" rang out. The laser lights and fireworks encompassed the stadium...and then, sigh, the fabulous five disappeared from the stage...
...laser-sharp focus directed at the LAPD may be partly due to public perception: These cities have wildly divergent police cultures. Philadelphia police were widely praised for their humane approach to the protests, but they also came onto the scene bearing far less baggage than the LAPD toted into Monday night's confrontation. There is a palpable distrust of police here, stemming back decades, and the ongoing investigation into corruption charges have only served to broaden the chasm between many Angelenos and their ostensible protectors...
...G.O.P. Convention will be the Bush team's chance to put the best version of their candidate and his past on display. Count on a film with romantic images of Midland. And count on the rest of the staging to be as laser-focused on making Bush seem noble, sincere and decent.

The real leitmotif--pushed by the campaign for many weeks--is much edgier: "George Bush Is a Different Kind of Republican." Mimicking almost exactly the language Bill Clinton...
...OPTICAL COMPUTER This computer replaces electricity with laser light beams. Unlike wires, light beams can pass through one another, making possible three-dimensional microprocessors. An optical transistor has already been invented; unfortunately, the components are still rather large and clumsy. The optical counterpart of a desktop computer would be the size...
...QUANTUM COMPUTER The darkest horse to emerge in this race is the quantum computer, sometimes dubbed the ultimate computer. The idea is to direct a laser or radio beam on a carefully arranged collection of atomic nuclei, each of which is spinning like a top. As the beam bounces off the atoms, it flips the spins of some of them. Complex computations can be performed by analyzing how the spins have been flipped...
