This planning, against a day that hopefully will never come, is prudent. But it is imperative that the U.S. never again use weapons of mass destruction before its adversary. The historical argument in favor of preserving a first-strike option—that of the Soviet Union starting a massive invasion of Western Europe—is no longer relevant, and no similar situation is foreseeable. Nuclear weapons are not just big bombs; even the smallest tactical weapons pack immense payloads, nuclear explosions leave fallout for years, and their use runs the risk of spurring catastrophic escalation...
...Prudent or not, implant technology is racing ahead with bionic speed. Kevin Warwick, a professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in England, is working on the next step. In a few weeks, he will receive an implant that will wirelessly connect the nerves in his arm to a PC. The computer will record the activity of his nervous system and stimulate the nerves to produce small movements and sensations; such an implant could eventually help a person suffering from paralysis to move parts of the body the brain can't reach. If all goes well, Warwick will...

In dollars the amount of money paid out of the endowment will be only 2 percent larger than the amount paid last year, the lowest percentage increase in a decade...

To make students bear these costs isn’t prudent, it’s greedy...
...paid for. Simon, an investment guru with a portfolio of liabilities Riordan could have used against him - he's never held office before, he's voted only sporadically, and he's only lived in California for 12 years - still ran a surprisingly strong campaign. He took a slow, prudent approach to the primary, getting his name out and wooing key party leaders. But he'll have to ratchet up his game if he plans to beat Davis, who despite his gray personality is a smart and tenacious campaigner. The governor is already painting Simon as the second coming...
