...notebook quickly filled up with scribbles like "nanostructure??" and "Chu recommends polymer" and "don't think Hazel O'Leary got this briefing." Chu's only simple question - aside from "Will this explode?" - was "What percentage of your profit goes to science?" About 15% to 25%, the CEO explained. "That's very good," Chu said with a sigh. The entire visit reminded Chu of the futuristic spirit he loved at Bell Labs. "This was a power company, but it had the flavor of a high-tech company," he told me later.

Rare films and headlines describe the deaths (spray-painting on busy subway lines is hazardous) and municipal cleanup efforts that ended graffiti's golden age, at least...

Many observers warn that increasing overcrowding is a serious threat in U.S. prisons as well. Reform advocates welcomed a judicial ruling earlier this month requiring California to reduce its prison population more than 25% over the next two years. A three-judge panel ordered the state to trim more than 40,000 inmates from its rolls because adequate medical care was unavailable to them, but the order also cited concerns over public safety.
