Just by looking at him, you can tell Chertoff is a man who exercises tremendous self-control. (Blogs have nicknamed him Skeletor.) He can get through the day on a couple of pieces of toast for breakfast, a PowerBar for lunch, and yogurt and an apple for dinner. When he was head of the criminal division at the Justice Department, subordinates remember, he would put a quarter down on the office counter for every personal fax he made...

A former Navy combat pilot, Moshier has been working on his creation, at least in his mind, since he was a teenager in the 1960s, although officially his company, Millennium Jets, has been at it only six years.

Penney and Toys "R" Us since Mattel re-released them. Demand in the U.S. for replicas of Transformers, among them the upstart Hot Rod ($45) and the diabolical pistol Megatron ($90-$110), has prompted importers to buy them...
