...ICSA.net's Tippett. Agrees McAfee president and CEO Gene Hodges: "It's clear at this point that this is the most damaging and the most widespread virus outbreak ever." Symantec's Moritz is more cautious, conceding that it is No. 1 in numbers and rate of spread, but for sheer destructiveness he prefers last year's Explore.Zip, an especially vindictive virus designed to destroy Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint files...
Established advocacy groups such as Handgun Control have helped Dees-Thomases and her moms refine their message, moving from a sheer expression of outrage over gun killings to a call for what they term "common-sense gun laws"--tougher background checks, longer "cooling-off" periods before buying a gun and mandatory safety locks on handguns.

The raw energy in the roaring slapshot, the primal urge to throw somebody into the boards, the sheer ecstasy of scoring the beautiful goal—to seek these is all the libido we could ever need. Romance and relationships are noisy and complicated, inevitably fraught with unpleasant difficulties. But a simple, crisp, pinpoint pass from one end of the ice to the other—executed with just a single, silent look—is nothing less than two souls moving in perfect harmony...
