...within the A.C.L.U. is typified by board member and gay activist Tom Stoddard, who says the absolutists are seeking "otherworldly vindication of one constitutional right without recognizing that all rights have value and can be reconciled." To him, both equality and liberty must be weighed and many rights enshrined. "Pure consistency is never possible in an organization that addresses so many rights simultaneously," says Stoddard. To the embattled Old Guard, however, purity and consistency were precisely what the A.C.L.U. was once all about...

It was the cover, which includes a portrait of Tammy -- without her family's permission. The photo appears with a glossy splotch of red superimposed over her face.

Observers have already used telescopes to identify the light from such substances as alcohol and formaldehyde. Now comes evidence of pure carbon in the crystalline form familiar to jewelers everywhere. Elizabeth Taylor needn't get excited: these diamonds are microscopic in size. While such "microdiamonds" have been found in meteorites, no one realized how abundant they apparently are in the vastness of space...

Fiber-optic cable, made up of hair-thin strands of glass so pure you could see through a window of it that | was 70 miles thick, is the most perfect transmitter of information ever invented. A single strand of fiber could, in theory, carry the entire nation's radio and telephone traffic and still have room for more. As it is deployed today, fiber uses less than 1% of its theoretical capacity, or bandwidth, as it's called in the trade. Even so, it can carry 250,000 times as much data as a standard copper...
