WASHINGTON: In case you blinked and missed it, censure just made its first -- and doubtless fleeting -- appearance on Henry Hyde's radar screen. "I think it's fair to have a vote on a resolution for censure," Hyde said during a break in Wednesday's bone-dry wrangling over perjury, Ken Starr and other affairs d'affaire. The proposition, favored by Democrats, a few Republicans and most of the public (but when did they ever figure into this?) should have a very short life...
...most challenging demonstrations for Rueckner lies in the area of quantum mechanics. In the "single photon interference demo," the team sends single photons, one at a time, through slits in a screen. Even though the photons are sent sequentially, students watch the interference patterns as they are projected onto a screen. The result is "completely mind boggling," says Rueckner, but a visual demonstration, rather than a classical explanation, aids the students' understanding...

Well-funded upstarts like Buy.com keep coming. And the first "electronic books"--or flat displays that let you read a book on a screen--are just hitting the market...

While the more "artsy" montage scenes in Very Bad Things resemble nothing so much as MTV, there are some moments when the look of the movie actually edges towards the cinematographic. Of course, for every step the director takes forward, he takes 10 back. In fact, the most obvious faults...
