...during recent tests, it constitutes an amazing weapon. The three-man-crew compartment, lined with computer displays, looks more like the inside of a highflying jet cockpit than a mud-churning battlefield beast. Each system is actually two vehicles--the tracked business end topped with a turret and 155-mm gun, and a resupply vehicle carrying ammo and fuel. The gun's unique liquid-cooled barrel and automatic loading system allow it to fire 10 rounds a minute up to 25 miles, overwhelming the four-round, 18-mile range of the Paladin, the howitzer it is slated to replace...
...that you probably never knew what to do with--and the lock snaps right into it. Loop the other end around a fixed object, and you're golden. Laptop locks are all pretty much the same, but Kryptonite makes the one with the thickest cable, the 8-mm Mega Key Cable Lock ($49).

Most important, if you are ever diagnosed with a malignant melanoma, follow McCain's example and keep those doctors' appointments. Since his 1993 melanoma, McCain has had his skin checked every three to four months for new cancers. It could very well turn out that he owes his life to that...
...comedy needs a climax. Long before that, MM&I goes slack and desperate. And a chicken in a man's butt isn't all that hilarious. Maybe filmgoers need a lobbying group too: a Society for the Propagation of Promising Comedies That Actually Deliver on Their Promises. Care to join...
