...MILITARY FORCE The U.S. hasn't ruled out the use of force to strip North Korea of its nukes. Clinton considered a strike on North Korea's nuclear facilities at Yongbyon. But the risk remains that a smart-bomb attack will spark a war that won't be as neat as Gulf War II. Estimates of casualties in South Korea from even a short conflict run to 1 million. The U.S. would again risk international censure for unilateral military action. In April, China and Russia scuttled a U.N. Security Council resolution merely condemning North Korea for pulling...
There is another notable area in which contemporary society intrudes. Agent Smith and his cohorts wear dark suits and ties: they're very neat, one undistinguishable from another. These characters were made to look like "the Everyman, anonymous," says Barrett. They also look like that very 21st century villain, the corporate criminal. --By Michele Orecklin
...Grass in his home village of Behlendorf, a place of neat, brick-built farms an hour's drive from the city of Hamburg, whose elegant solidity looks rooted in the ages.

Within a few hours of the news, the picture of the doe-eyed Lynch swaddled in an American flag while being whisked to safety on a military stretcher had already become an icon. President Bush--along with the inevitable gaggle of book and movie agents--sent best wishes...
...Johnson family's vaulted living room, Shana's dad is glued these days to the all-news TV networks. As a break, he walks the neat subdivision, tying yellow ribbons around trees. The streets are named after baseball heroes: Roger Maris, Casey Stengel, Yogi Berra. Just to the north lies the Fort Bliss military reservation, spread across white sands. With winds kicking up the Chihuahuan Desert last week, the sky over El Paso was filled with irritating sand--much like that coating the troops in Iraq. Johnson, trapped in his own hell, doesn't notice. "The wait is extremely painful...
