...sure the North Koreans have the skill to make a nuclear device small enough to load onto its missiles. But if they do, the danger is great. Pyongyang wields a huge stash of short-and medium-range missiles, including at least 100 Nodong missiles capable of striking Japan. U.S. intelligence officials say Pyongyang wants to become the first rogue state capable of striking the U.S. homeland with a missile. In 1998 the North Koreans test-fired a three-stage Taepo Dong-1 rocket that landed in the Pacific Ocean. The Pentagon believes that North Korea is developing an intercontinental ballistic...
...g.o.p.-ers.) Lynne brings her granddaughters back to the mansion, which has been redone to a fare-thee-well in beige and ecru. Next to the huge, stark Frankenthaler canvas and the Christmas tree strung with white lights and dried roses that only an adult could love, the kids' stash of Huffy bikes, Hula-Hoops and an electric Barbie car in the corner provide the decorating touch money...

On top of everything, the U.N. doesn’t expect to have inspectors on the ground until six months from now, giving Hussein the chance to prepare his stash of anthrax, dig up old canisters of VX and throw everything he has at developing a nuclear bomb. Weapons inspection is a tedious process, and the first phase will be spent just figuring out which installations need to be inspected. If the inspectors are ever on the verge of finding...
...easy-listening section of Sam Goody. Hilary Rosen, the tough-talking president of the Recording Industry Association of America (R.I.A.A.) who led the legal charge against Napster, feels almost nostalgic about 2000, when file sharing was the sole problem. After all, only 11% of Napster users ever transferred their stash of tunes onto a CD; the rest kept them on a computer. Since piracy has gone portable--and local--it is perceived as more of a threat.
