...agents searched Lee's office and discovered three computer tapes - VCR-size cassettes in metal jackets - containing downloaded weapons codes. Computer-forensics experts concluded that Lee had used his classified computer in the X Division, where nuclear warheads are designed and assessed, to download voluminous mathematical descriptions of the characteristics and performance of various thermonuclear warheads to an unsecure portion of the computer-storage system. Prosecutors say he stored the data in a subdirectory protected only by a password that consisted of his initials. Then, the evidence showed, he went to another division at Los Alamos and borrowed a colleague...

On eBay, you've got a bit more variety: $450 for a "very rare, domed 'Jetsons' lunchbox," or 99 cents for a Hulk...
...ridiculous for TIME to feature such a meaningless person as Woods and hail him as a hero simply because he had the nerve to change his swing in one of the most pointless and boring "sports"--hitting a ball with a metal stick. So what if he is good at what he does and gets paid millions? His contribution to mankind is still zero. RALPH GALLAY Plainsboro...
