Across the nation, in disciplines ranging from geophysics to medicine to entomology, scientists are discovering that computer images can sometimes lead to a better understanding of nature. Borrowing a leaf from Hollywood's special-effects book (and in some cases hiring Hollywood technicians), they are converting their data into video form. Because the human brain is exquisitely adept at picking up visual cues, scientists have begun benefiting from what Robert Langridge of the University of California at San Francisco calls...

After another six hours the announcer began hinting -- opaquely, to say the least -- that Kim's career was finally at an end: "Our leader Kim Il Sung flows in the river as a leaf." A statement announcing his death by shooting followed shortly. Monday's broadcasts eulogized Kim extensively. Then, on Tuesday, came the startling admonition, "Do not be deceived by groundless rumors that our leader Kim Il Sung is dead...
