...already begun to turn the world into a global pharmacy. Hundreds of sites are springing up on the Net, housed abroad and not easily scrutinized by regulatory agencies.

But the Army insists that one day we will need hundreds of thousands of armed men and women to help protect our national security. No one wants that...
...make it harder for North Korea to advance a nuclear-weapons program or for China to develop the technology required to place multiple warheads atop a single mobile missile. The congressional committee investigating potential Chinese espionage concluded that it would be more difficult for Beijing to exploit secrets it may have acquired from the U.S. if it can't conduct nuclear tests...
