...months to assess the precise damage inflicted by the spying, but a senior White House official has already declared, "These cases taken together are likely as significant as the worst hits of the past." They were at least as serious, he claimed, as the Navy's Walker-family spy ring, the sale of secrets by the National Security Agency's Ronald Pelton and the defection of former CIA Employee Edward Howard. The damage could extend far beyond matters related to the Soviets. The Moscow embassy is on the distribution list for a wide range of foreign policy material, including details...
...from listening to politicians in Washington. Among them the dominant mood is unalloyed anger. Speech after speech in Congress accuses Tokyo of wiping out American jobs with floods of imports while keeping the Japanese market closed to U.S. and other foreign goods and services.

When one stream of high-speed protons smashes into another stream moving in the opposite direction, the force of the collision will create a host of short-lived particles not seen since the first moments after the Big Bang gave birth to the universe. Physicists are hoping that the appearance of exotic new particles -- higgs bosons, squarks and sleptons -- will open new vistas of inner space for scientists to study...
