...chemical and biological weapons and the labs used to produce them are devilish to pinpoint. "They can be smaller and dual use," says Gary Samore, a weapons expert at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies. "Any food-processing facility could be used for processing biological agents." Defectors have told Western officials that Saddam loads bioweapons into sealed wells drilled 60 ft. deep across the rural landscape and stocks chemical components in residential basements and palace bunkers. Labs for cooking up new toxins and germs are mounted on specially converted commercial trucks that cruise Iraqi highways to foil pursuers...
...through duels like his five-set quarter-final win against Roddick in last year's Open. Playing against an American in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Hewitt refused to crack. "I really don't carry that fear factor," he says. He wore out the 19-year-old Roddick with his pinpoint ground strokes and indefatigable desire. He then dismantled Pete Sampras in the final. He is neither especially big nor strong at 5 ft. 11 in. and 160 lbs. But he is especially relentless. "He doesn't have the big game to blow guys away," says his coach, Jason Stoltenberg...
...surface moisture around a target so rapidly that it literally explodes, producing a bright flash of light and a loud bang. The effect is like a stun grenade, but unlike a grenade the PEP travels at nearly the speed of light and can take out a target with pinpoint accuracy.

...FERDINAND, 23, ENGLAND In 2000, Ferdinand was sold to the English Premier League club Leeds United from West Ham United for a record $26 million, yet the defender was still a relative unknown when he arrived at World Cup 2002. Not any more. His lithe movement and pinpoint tackling earned him plaudits as one of the players of the tournament. His kind of authority at the back lends itself to any scheme of play. Manchester United has put in a bid for as much as $53 million. VALUE: $53 million, up from $26 million...
