...hearsay evidence. The Geneva Convention permits each of these, even for POWs. But pretending that the detainees are POWs would make it harder to run a safe camp for these sworn terrorists. The Geneva Convention says that POWs must be allowed to keep their mess kits, gas masks and metal helmets--for it is presumed they won't turn these into weapons. They are to be paid military salaries and "given the means" of preparing food. (One wonders if this includes knives.) They cannot be housed in a cell. "Scientific equipment" and "musical instruments" can be sent from home. Classifying...
This raises an interesting question: How do you secure a sporting event without taking the fun out of it? Answer: checkpoints. Control the borders, the theory goes, and you control everything. That's why visitors on the way into the 20 Olympic venues will be scanned with metal detectors, and why all vehicles will be held back 300 ft. Hundreds of surveillance cameras that can scrutinize an ID badge from 1,000 ft. away will watch entrances, exits, highways and parking lots, and spectators are warned not to bring bags larger than 10 in. by 12 in.

...Atlanta in 1996, law-enforcement agencies have known they would have to reinvent Salt Lake's security. The Atlanta budget was more than doubled for Salt Lake, and after Sept. 11, it increased an additional 25%, to $300 million, for the creation of the Bubble.

As I watched the negatives of the next day’s pages slide out of the processor, I was amazed that the product of so many people’s work was, once again, ready to imprint itself on metal plates, run through the presses and hit the streets a few hours later. I thought there was little more magical in the world...
...decade better in a few minutes than the pilot does in half an hour. That '80s Show buys into the pop-historical arc, familiar from movies like Boogie Nights and Blow, in which the relatively innocuous, goofy '70s (pot, disco, TM) sour into the cold, aggressive '80s (coke, heavy metal, M.B.A.s). It's hard to cultivate warmth for a decade that you're portraying as soulless and lame, especially if your characters are equally empty. There's easy nostalgia (remember Dynasty? remember "Where's the beef"?), and there's getting a decade's spirit (remember the awkward attempts to combine...
