FUEL-AIR EXPLOSIVES These disperse a flammable spray and ignite it, producing blast waves that suck oxygen out of enclosed spaces and suffocate occupants...
...from drifting off, they conversed and prayed. She told him her name, Jennieann Maffeo, and the name and number of her boss at Paine Webber; she also told him she was asthmatic and allergic to latex. Clifford took copious notes. With the help of a Marriott employee and oxygen from the hotel's medical kit, Clifford led her to the nearest ambulance. Maffeo's charred skin still clinging to his coat, Clifford ran west and hopped on a ferry back to his home in Glen Ridge, N.J., where he hugged his wife and daughter, who was celebrating her 11th birthday...

He is not in good shape: incurable pulmonary fibrosis has left him only 40% use of his lungs, and his doctors told him a year ago that he had just months to live. But with the inexorable will that has made him an empire builder, he pumps his latest project, a swashbuckling novel featuring a miracle-working naif who brings God's word from Ethiopia to California.

...least that's the hope of investors who have lobbed the first of potentially billions of dollars at a simple chemical principle that an obscure British scientist named William Grove discovered in 1839: when hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine to form water, heat and electricity are produced. Tapping that energy, by binding individual cells into what is known as a "stack," could mean efficient, continuous and clean electricity for everything from long-lasting cell-phone batteries to industrial power generators. And although fuel cells have generated buzz at least since astronauts took a prototype into space on Gemini...
