...elections. Says a former government official who has known Bush for 20 years: "If he is going to take political advantage of things he might have done anyhow, why not do them fast instead of slow?" It may be that the President is not yet ready to answer the obvious question when the strategy changes: What is the new definition of success? Bush himself teed that up when he told reporters in October, "You all got to understand, and the parents of our troops must understand, that if I didn't believe we could succeed and didn't believe...
...much the new chips that run them. So it is with this year's Technology Pioneers. Consumers will flip when they see MicroOptical's video goggles, and they'll dig Ruckus' wireless router. In rural India, where Drishtee is taking computers to the poorest people, the benefit is obvious. But Dust Networks' self-organizing mesh networking system is pretty cool if, say, you work in industry. So too are the paper batteries of Enfucell or the flexible sensors of DeepStream. Sensors are a real big deal on this particular planet. So is medicine, where no breakthrough is small, whether...
...this story’s mise en scène seems far too obvious. After all, Litvinenko was poisoned with Polonium 210, which is 250 million times more toxic than cyanide. In order to get this obscure substance experts said one needs access to a nuclear laboratory.

But even more importantly, why would the quite professional Russian secret services murder someone slowly, giving them over three weeks to blame them, and do it with a substance that could...
...joyful ecstasy and a testament to Rockefeller’s artistic acuity.Sadly, the exhibit fizzles before its narrative climax. Here, at the beginning of the war scenes, Rockefeller distances himself physically and psychologically from his subjects, and the resulting photographs suffer.Rockefeller’s photography becomes more obvious, less idiosyncratic, and less captivating overall. Whereas Rockefeller appeared comfortable with the daily life of the Dani, his images of war and the ensuing celebrations and mourning lack the compassion of these others.The difference is most pronounced in a photograph of a group of women mourning a fallen Dani warrior. From...
...Being from Iowa would seem an obvious advantage too, but so far, it doesn't look that way. A June Des Moines Register poll put him only in fourth place in Iowa among Democratic primary voters, lagging behind Clinton, John Kerry and John Edwards. While much of the state's Democratic establishment is backing Vilsack, many elected officials and key activists in the state are considering or have already signed on with other candidates. It's a sharp contrast to 1992, when Iowa Senator Tom Harkin ran for president, and the other contenders essentially conceded the state to him. Edwards...
