...stop him from acting to eliminate what he perceives as an imminent threat to U.S. and allied security. When Bush first raised the issue at the UN Security Council last Fall, he did so in the form of a challenge to the international body - follow us to war, or render yourselves irrelevant. And his administration underlined the point by deploying an invasion armada and planning for a U.S.-administered post-Saddam Iraq. The two-track policy of using the UN process as a means to build diplomatic support for a war already in the making may have helped build domestic...
...glory here, though. All we see is the detritus of revolution: blood vividly stains the walls of a deserted ballroom stripped of everything but some random litter and a tacky chandelier. Many of these artists take aspects of life that earlier generations painted, drew or wrote about and render them in photos, film or video art.

Every vehicle that enters the city center must render unto the modern Caesar - Mayor Ken Livingstone and his Greater London Authority - a €8 charge. Seven hundred cameras are recording all license plates, and those who don't pay are fined at least €60. You would think, judging by the public uproar, that drivers were being asked to hand over...
...InVision, based in Newark, Calif., will build about 625 C.T.-based machines. HiEnergy Technologies of Irvine, Calif., meanwhile, is at work on a new explosive-detection technology that some analysts believe could one day give L-3 a run for its money. "It's possible that new technology could render L-3's obsolete," says Christopher Tavares, an analyst for MetroTrading, a brokerage in Deerfield Beach, Fla. "To stay competitive, L-3 will have to continue to develop new product lines...
