...CARRIERS Rumsfeld's strategic planners think the current carriers are slow, easy targets. The 21st century may demand smaller, faster ships. He'd like to eliminate one of the Navy's 12 carrier groups--6,000 sailors, five support ships, 80 planes. The Navy is trying to avoid that scenario...
...This scenario, reported in the journal Nature last week, is drawn from a new computer simulation that goes far toward resolving puzzling inconsistencies in earlier studies of the moon's formation. That event was, of course, of overwhelming importance in our planet's history, since it reduced Earth's rotational wobble and set the stage for ocean tides and ultimately life, not to mention untold moon-June poesy. Earlier simulations required a much larger object crashing into an Earth only partly formed and spinning too fast to explain Earth's current rotational rate--our 24-hour day. One study needed...
...Monday, a federal judge considered that nightmare scenario as he presided over a hearing for Robert Courtney. The Kansas City pharmacist, who allegedly diluted the chemotherapy treatments for at least 35 patients, is charged with one federal count of adulterating and misbranding drugs. Courtney, who is reportedly worth at least $10 million, has admitted to investigators that he?d diluted the expensive drugs "out of greed and in order to make more money." If convicted, he could face a $250,000 fine and a three-year jail term...
...Courtney?s actions, Dr. Bull adds, could easily have thrown off the intricate timing of cancer treatment. "This is a fairly dire scenario in that chemotherapy drugs are most effective against tumors at the highest dose you can get in without toxicity, and the patients who received dosage from this pharmacist obviously weren?t getting that potency...

An authoritative narrator's voice sets up the historical scenario, as he will do before each battle. You play as Tokugawa, a rebel warlord who plots to take over Japan. Each battle seems to be based on historical events, though it is hard to say, since the game continues whether you win or lose...
