...over the 2005 model. It shares the coupe body style with the basic Civic, a vast improvement over the unloved hatchback it replaces. Indeed, everything about the new Si appears more aggressive, from the wider body stance to the lower suspension, angular headlights and larger exhaust. Honda didn't skimp on the performance technology either, including a limited-slip differential, double-wishbone rear suspension, front and rear disc brakes and electronic brake distribution?all standard equipment.

But a tightly held NRC document reviewed by TIME raises serious questions about whether the government has set the bar too low and allowed plant operators to skimp on security. Many guards working in nuclear plants and some senior security experts working for the U.S. government say the defenses facilities rely on are too meager to thwart an assault by a force the size of the one al-Qaeda put together when it attacked the U.S. on 9/11--Mohammed Atta...
...incorporate the travels of Marco Polo a century earlier, and thus sketched a recognizable outline of Asia that would be refined over the next 500 years of exploration. It includes a Europeanate illustration of Beijing and a portrait of the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan. Cresques doesn't skimp on detail. He crams each of the Atlas' eight leaves with brilliant illuminations of myths (both biblical and classical), Kings, flags, ships and monsters, as well as the first known depiction of a Silk Road caravan, with caped traders' riding camels across the Taklimakan desert in what is now China's Xinjiang...
