Sleep easy, everyone - in five years or so, the U.S. might have a pretty good chance of defending itself against a surprise nuclear attack by... North Korea. With the least technological fudging yet, the Pentagon on Saturday night managed to shoot a dummy nuclear warhead out of the sky with a ground-based rocket - the latest in a string of successes that have the idea of a nuclear "umbrella" edging closer to approval by the Clinton administration. For TIME Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson, it?s a dubious triumph of lowered expectations. "It?s not Reagan?s ?Star Wars,' which...

...Walking through Harvard Yard, religiosity pierces the sky with the steeple of Memorial Church. The politics, hermeneutics and iconography of religion recur endlessly in the coursebook and in our coursework. But more often than not, this is as close we come to spiritual awareness. Deep inside every Harvard students, there's a spiritual self-try to find...

...monthly night in Brixton that drove London's youth nuts. The twitching and the glittering alike frothed in the mouth to get in, and once inside, they foamed in the veins to get it on. Last March, Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe dropped unsigned out of the continental sky into the Winter Music Conference in Miami, tearing up the Cameo with their irrepressible funk-house meltdown and rode their fat beat steed straight into a hot and hungry bidding war over what know-it's everywhere are dubbing the hottest thing to happen to house music this decade. Their freshly...

...never mind my personal suffering. Without any bias whatsoever (I'll try to be an honest reporter for a moment), the Backstreet Boys delivered an energetic and completely spellbinding show. The concert struck like an avalanche, as the boys emerged from the sky (they might as well been "gods" descending from the heavens to their shrieking fans) amidst smoke, light and thundering fireworks to the opening score of Star Wars. They followed their "Larger Than Life" opening with other Millennium debut material, each song displaying a harder and edgier sound than their older hits. Likewise, the choreographed dancing and effects...
