...notion of a cashless economy facilitated by databanks of digitized body parts is still kind of far out. But then, so are most things about Cross Match. The company was founded in 1996 by Scott, a medical ultrasound specialist, and two fellow engineers turned garage inventors, Jim Davis, who worked on the engine of the SR-71 Blackbird at Lockheed, and Ellis Betensky, who improved Vivitar zoom lenses and pioneered computer-aided design for cameras...
...have gladly settled for a U.K. trial, but the fact he didn't get one might have a simpler explanation than transatlantic collusion. In 2006, the U.K.'s National Hi-Tech Crime Unit - the one that arrested McKinnon in 2002 - was disbanded. Though there is pressure to rebuild a specialist e-crimes unit, mostly prompted by the soaring cost of cyber fraud, the U.K. government has so far failed to come up with funding. In short, says Jordan, "they don't take this kind of hacking seriously." Which may be why McKinnon's headed to America...
...Companies will at last be able to operate management policy based on a secure legal framework," Danièle Giazzi, a labor specialist for the ruling Union for Popular Majority party (UMP). "It's a remarkable advance for the economy." France's Labor Minister, Xavier Bertrand, the bill's author, hailed an "historic" revision of a law conceived by the country's "archaic" left, now in opposition.

...months or years. Or ever. On this and the following pages, TIME publishes the first photographs to appear in the U.S. of the ruined nuclear plant, the cleanup operation and the surrounding countryside. One of the few Americans who have seen Pripyat is Dr. Robert Gale, a bone- marrow specialist who helped Soviet doctors cope with the Chernobyl disaster, which so far has cost 26 lives. ''It's a very dramatic thing to see a partially destroyed nuclear power plant,'' Gale told reporters after taking a helicopter tour of the scene. ''The damage itself doesn't appear to be that...
...that lets the music speak most directly to the listener. Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2. Christopher Hogwood conducting the Academy of Ancient Music (L'Oiseau-Lyre). Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 2 and 7. Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra (RCA). No greater contrast can be imagined. Original Instrument Specialist Hogwood offers light, fleet, graceful performances that explicitly evoke Beethoven's classical- period roots. Toscanini, on the other hand, is rough and hard charging in these readings from 1949 and 1951. Once, Toscanini's Beethoven was Beethoven, as surely handed down from on high as Schnabel's. Today, Toscanini...
