...ocean away, other intelligence officials were playing the tape to some of the several hundred lesser-ranking al-Qaeda detainees held in pens at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And the reaction they got was even scarier: a senior U.S. official told TIME that detainees said some passages could be a call to action. That interpretation, along with reports from informants and intercepted communications flooding CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., sent waves of anxiety through the intelligence community...
...damaging organisms is the sea louse, which breeds by the millions in the vicinity of captive salmon. In 1989 Peter Mantle, who owns a wild salmon and sea-trout sport fishery in Delphi on the west coast of Ireland, discovered that young trout returning to his river from the ocean were covered with lice that were boring through the trouts' skin and feasting on their flesh. The sea lice were breeding near newly installed salmon farms in the inlet fed by his river. By the time the salmon farmers started dosing their pens with anti-sea-lice chemicals...
...sometimes overly-didactic dialogue. Moore delights in revealing how everything ties together, sometimes leaving the reader feeling lectured. Even so, he is enough of a storyteller to never let us go too long without some adventure. Issue 16 has Promethea perilously sink to the bottom of a literal ocean of emotion.

Then, with a typically clever bit humor, once Promethea gets a hold of herself and apologizes...
...worth every penny. By plugging real-life climate data from satellites and ocean buoys into the Earth Simulator, researchers can create a computer model of the entire planet, then scroll it forward in time to see what will happen to our environment. Scientists have already completed a forecast of global ocean temperatures for the next 50 years, and a full set of climate predictions will be ready by year's end. Soon, instead of speculating about the possible environmental impact of, say, the Kyoto accord, policymakers will be able to plug its parameters into the virtual Earth, then skip ahead...
TIME's Jeffrey Ressner tells us where to go in SANTA MONICA for BREAKFAST: The Broadway Deli, at Broadway and Third St., where De Niro and Pacino faced off in the movie Heat.
