...arsenal for the 1990s because, like its predecessors, its submarine basing makes it invulnerable to a Soviet pre-emptive attack (assuming, of course, that the Soviets do not achieve a breakthrough in antisubmarine warfare). But the stickiest and most controversial part of the trade-off would be the limits the Soviets would demand on SDI. Here their position has been evolving. A year ago they wanted to ban not only development and testing but also research on ''space-strike arms,'' a term they defined in a way that was so comprehensive and one-sided it might have meant the cancellation...
...month investigation following charges that the GNP estimates, which sharply affected the performance of U.S. financial markets on the day of their release, were leaked to Wall Street traders twice last year. The results of the inquest were severely disquieting. At least 60 bureau workers--well beyond the authorized limit--knew the secret numbers, and investigators could not tell who might have slipped information to outsiders. The three dismissed for breach of trust, on the other hand, were hardly big- time offenders: one of them made only about $300 in the bond market...

However, instead of cutting the limit on strategic warheads from the 3,600 they previously proposed, the Soviets now want to include all cruise missiles in the total and set the ceiling at 8,000. Since the U.S. is first and foremost interested in slashing the number of warheads deployed on big land...
...nickname for the remote control used in the blockbuster Nintendo video game system the Wii, which has so far sold 28 million units worldwide. Invented by a small Miami company called Fobis Technologies, the Weemote is a nifty television remote control specially designed for little kids that lets parents limit the channels their children surf. It was trademarked in 2000, long before the Wii debuted, which means the commercial use of the Wiimote moniker technically infringes on the Weemote brand...
...incident, HUID numbers were available to a number of individuals at the University including undergraduate User Assistants, Harvard University Dining Services workers, building managers, and freshman proctors. The University has since strictly restricted the access to these numbers, putting in place a number of protocols that limit how and when they can be displayed and accessed by members of the Harvard community...
