Nightlife: Montreal nightlife starts late and ends early. Cigar bars, pool rooms and landmarks like the Foufounes Electriques, line St. Denis, St. Lawrence and Ste. Catherine East. For a relaxed evening out, join the smart crowd at Le Quartier Latin on Ontario in the French student area. Red, plush and pleasant, it often hosts live funk. A bubbly, self-consciously hip crowd occupies Jello Bar on Ontario (they like martinis). It features live jazz and Monday night swing dancing. Booty-shaking? Unity on Ste. Catherine East in the Gay Village and Sona, the after-hours club on Bleury, are where...
...iconic image of information-age combat dates from the Gulf War: the view from a smart bomb, homing in on an Iraqi bunker. But the Serbian forces in Yugoslavia have fielded a far more powerful electronic arsenal than the Iraqis did, and American military technology has been evolving since that time as well. If it comes to a fight, it will be the most sophisticated display of electronic combat the world has ever seen...
Which is one reason artificial-muscle researchers convened for the first time earlier this month at the International Symposium on Smart Structures and Materials in Newport Beach, Calif. "It's clear that if we're going to build little robots that do things, then they've got to have muscles," says Paul Calvert, a materials scientist at the University of Arizona. He uses polymer gels to construct "Jell-O jacks," which resemble the wobbly dessert but are capable of raising and lowering small objects.

These activists will be crucial if Forbes hopes to win early contests. "It's a smart move, snatching up every Christian Coalition and evangelical person that he can," says Bobbie Gobel, head of the Christian Coalition in Iowa, who lost her executive director to Forbes because she couldn't match his offer. Rivals, who back-load salaries to preserve precious cash, charge that Forbes is paying...
...magical 1941 season, he had 30 home runs, 13 strikeouts. (There are single weeks when modern sluggers strike out 13 times.) From his spread-legged stance, his twisting follow-through, the absolute balance of his swing, he devised a precision of attack unmatched in baseball history--a baseball smart bomb, as deadly as it was efficient...
