...work of prying Chinese engineers--it confirmed the Administration's fears. While the EP-3E is an old plane, a model that began flying in 1969, its electronic guts are up-to-the-minute. No EP-3E has ever been shot down or captured, even though the "flying pig," as it is called, is a long-range, slow-flying unarmed aircraft. "The most important thing to the Chinese on that airplane was the data we had collected earlier that day," says Norman Polmar, an independent Navy expert. "That would tell them which of their systems is vulnerable to interception...

...Britain, where the stench of burning hair, hide and flesh of slaughtered animals casts gloom across the countryside. By week's end at least 250,000 animals had been destroyed, and that was only the beginning. Agriculture Minister Nick Brown announced plans for the "pre-emptive" killing of every pig and sheep within 3 km of any infected farm in Cumbria and southwest Scotland. By some accounts, the massive slaughter order could doom more than a million animals. Officials even considered calling in army sharpshooters to gun down sheep - including newborn lambs and heavily pregnant ewes - in the fields where...
...Lincoln, wearing wraparound shades and a deep melanoma scar on his face, John McCain looks like a B-movie hitman. As a matter of fact, he is trying to kill something: Washington's seamy money culture. The Arizona Senator has just finished an event with a 1,500-lb. pig named Rootie, his accomplice in an annual unveiling of the pork hidden in the federal budget.
