...Williamson's Scream (loading up on winking meta-references). The story moves a touch faster than most network soaps, and there are a few laughs--some of them intentional--but MTV could have gone further. NBC's soapernatural Passions is more innovative than Spyder Games' familiar sex-and-business setup; and the cheap production values are strictly daytime...
...magic was the series clincher. Yale erased a 3-1 deficit to take a 4-3 lead on a goal at 4:48 of the third period. At that point, captain Steve Moore took over the game. He setup sophomore Brett Nowak's tying goal and then battled for a rebound in front of the net to take a 5-4 lead at Harvard never let back, pouring it on for a 7-4 victory...
...Defense project in the 1980s to create a robot that would allow surgeons to operate on critically wounded soldiers from a safe distance, or even perform emergency surgery on astronauts on Mars. The scientists envisioned easily deployed surgical units that would save lives. But while the need for careful setup of the patient and machine and the chaos of trauma surgery have yet to make that possible, non-emergency surgery over great distances is already happening. In 1998 a doctor from Baltimore assisted on a robotic operation in Singapore from his library at home. But it's not about...
...current setup also encourages most of the international community to look the other way as Iraq violates sanctions, particularly through exporting oil to Syria and Turkey (who pay Baghdad directly rather than through a U.N.-managed escrow account). The new proposals would require these countries and Jordan to pay for oil through the escrow account, giving the U.N. tighter control over Baghdad's funds. But a decade of sanctions has spawned an elaborate smuggling economy in the states surrounding Iraq, and implementing new curbs may be difficult...
...looked great and came with a three-year warranty, I ended up picking my favorites based on cost and little niceties. The Samsung came in first for its low $499 price, uncluttered controls and tall, sturdy stand. The $599 models from Philips and IBM tied for second. IBM's setup program produced the best picture quality without manual tweaking, while the Philips made it easy to adjust settings. NEC's MultiSync1530V ($549) looked sharp, but its controls were a little less intuitive. And while the $499 Viewsonic was the sveltest of all (just 5 in. deep) and the only model...
