...Iraq but the administration must also recognize that Israel still has the unquestionable right to respond to outside threats. Americans should remember that Israel, in an act of self-preservation, saved innumerable lives when Prime Minister Menachem Begin launched an air strike called Operation Babylon against an Iraqi nuclear plant in June 1981. The U.S., which condemned Operation Babylon when it occurred, reversed course after the Gulf War and praised Israel for its forward-looking action. Luckily for the U.S., Israel did not rely on American promises of protection but instead acted independently to push back Saddam?...
...Taguchi, a Tokyo bar hostess who had just dropped off her children at day care when she disappeared at age 22, is thought to have trained an agent named Kim Hyon Hui. This agent posed as a Japanese citizen in 1987 to board a South Korean passenger jet and plant a bomb in its cabin. Taguchi, the North Koreans say, is now dead...
...every copy of the poem, bringing in tow Helen's assistant Mona, a hippie-ish "witch," and Mona's eco-ranting boyfriend Oyster, the most comically egregious tagalong since that sourpuss hitchhiker picked up by Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces. (Oyster describes Johnny Appleseed, who spread non-native plant life, as "a f______ biological terrorist.") All the while Carl struggles with his impulse to wipe out everybody in his path who annoys him. Because his path runs through barroom blowhards and rude librarians, to say nothing of Oyster, that's a lot of folks...
OPEC has more than fuel cells to worry about from nanotechnology. Last month China's largest coal company licensed U.S. technology that will enable it to build a $2 billion coal-liquefaction plant in Inner Mongolia. The heart of this new technology is a gel-based nanoscale catalyst that improves the efficiency of coal conversion and reduces the cost of producing clean transportation fuels. If the technology lives up to its promise and can economically transform coal into diesel fuel and gasoline, coal-rich countries such as the U.S., China and Germany could depend far less on imported...
...have the right people and use the right techniques, your probability of catching the offender is high." Since 1998, the IAEA has been analyzing satellite photos for signs that Saddam is pursuing nukes. Last month those photos produced images of new buildings going up at a former Iraqi weapons plant that the iaea wants to explore. These experts will wield new high-tech tools - a gamma-spectroscopy monitor known as the Ranger, which is used to detect radiation, and a bright yellow device, known as Alex, that can pick out metals used for nuclear purposes...
