...other new requirement: patience. The thousands of TSA employees, who can be identified by their white shirts and TSA emblems, are still learning how to work the system. Once airline travel begins to pick up again, the new security system will face stiffer challenges and possibly longer lines. My advice: take less stuff. A lot less...

...breakfast with Bowles in Raleigh, I wonder if the race is between Stiff and Stiffer. Bowles, 57, who dresses and speaks like the banker he was, stresses Dole's opposition in 1989 to an increase in the minimum wage.

...first to experiment with strong, lightweight nanocomposite materials in the late 1980s, and U.S. automakers are starting to move nanocomposites out of the lab and into vehicles. General Motors is using advanced plastics to make step assists for 2002 GMC Safari and Chevrolet Astro vans. The new materials are stiffer, lighter and less brittle in cold temperatures than other plastics. Improvements in strength and reductions in weight lead to fuel savings. The next step is for GM to use nanocomposites in car interiors and bumpers and eventually in load-bearing structural parts, such as vehicle frames...
