...past 30 years, a lot of human affection, and cash, is being spent on pets. "For people who don't have children, animals are as dear," says Steve Cohen, the owner of Miami Beach's Dog Bar, which offers organic food for dogs, such as $30-per-lb. beef patties. Less than a decade ago, Americans spent $17 billion a year on pet products and services.

The Baptists will deliver thousands of 70-lb. food packages labeled--in Arabic--with the biblical verse John 1: 17: "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ."

And highly touted smart weapons have turned out to be messier than advertised. A 2,000-lb. bomb steered by a JDAM guidance device may rarely miss its mark by more than 13 ft.--the length of the steering system and the explosive--but when the bomb blows, it sends high-speed shrapnel flying as far as a mile.
