...Fast and the Furious and its sequel showed that kids these days prefer a rebuilt Honda Civic to a handmade Ferrari. The import-car "tuner" craze--a cultural blend of hip-hop, Tokyo pop and Old West outlaw--is expanding its influence into the toy industry, with the arrival of the new XMODS radio-controlled cars at Radio Shack. The $49.95 racers, replicas of cars popular on the real-life scene, can be customized with authentically reproduced big-league gear, including Bomex body kits and Eibach suspension springs. Under the hood, there's more tweaking: you can swap engines...
...themselves in the most horrifyingly stunning display in television history. I won’t forget rushing to The Crimson, thinking that I could do my piece for my country by voting for an editorial position (banally) condemning the attacks and (stupidly) urging that the towers be rebuilt as soon as possible exactly as they had been the day before. On the other hand, that wrenching day was only just over two years ago, and I hardly ever think of it now without significant prompting...

Over the past three months, TIME has interviewed Iraqi weapons scientists, middlemen and former government officials. Saddam's henchmen all make essentially the same claim: that Iraq's once massive unconventional-weapons program was destroyed or dismantled in the 1990s and never rebuilt; that officials destroyed or never kept the documents that would prove it; that the shell games Saddam played with U.N. inspectors were designed to conceal his progress on conventional weapons systems--missiles, air defenses, radar--not biological or chemical programs; and that even Saddam, a sucker for a new gadget or invention or toxin, may not have...
...American spies. The Furat facility just south of Baghdad was a known nuclear site before the first Gulf War. Last fall the White House released satellite photos showing a new building at the site and suggested it was designed for covert nuclear research. But al-Rawi claims it was rebuilt to produce radar and antiaircraft systems. When TIME visited the plant this summer, there were signs of heavy bombing, but the new building was intact--and carpeted inside with documents in French, Russian, Arabic and English, all having to do with radar equipment, frequencies and trajectories...
