Drug traffickers long ago discovered they could dissolve the pills in common chemicals and heat the mixture until the liquid evaporates and a powerful stimulant powder--known as meth, crank, crystal or ice--remains. As a result, 23 other states are considering similar legislation, and last week a federal bill, modeled on Oklahoma's statute, was introduced in the U.S. Senate by a group of bipartisan lawmakers from across...

"Titan is so cold that the water is frozen out, whereas here it's liquid," says Jonathan Lunine, a mission scientist. "But that's why it's probably such a good snapshot of early Earth...
