...have compromised secure networks ranging from the Redstone Arsenal military base to NASA to the World Bank. In one case, the hackers stole flight-planning software from the Army. So far, the files they have vacuumed up are not classified secrets, but many are sensitive and subject to strict export-control laws, which means they are strategically important enough to require U.S. government licenses for foreign...
...great, denying women a legal right they have had for 32 years. But to many conservatives the matter has never been settled as the Warren Court's original recognition of a constitutional right to privacy (in a 1965 case involving the use of contraception) provided the basis for Roe. Strict constructionists like Antonin Scalia and Thomas think the court was just plucking rights out of thin air when it perceived the right to privacy nestled in the Ninth and 14th amendments. (The Ninth says just because some rights are explicitly protected doesn't mean others don't exist; the 14th...
...collaborating with trip-hop pioneer Tricky, recording and touring with him. After she met film-score composer Gregory, they released their 2000 debut Felt Mountain, an enchanting, cinematic progression from the trip-hop groove. The 2003 follow-up Black Cherry added a dose of glam and disco; the single Strict Machine became a synthesized surefire floor filler, as well as the theme to a Game Boy advertisement.

In less Freudian terms, Illinois Representative Rahm Emanuel, who runs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, says "the military and these other institutions are greatly respected." Hence the Democrats' netting a former CIA officer in Illinois and a former FBI agent in Minnesota, whistle-blower Coleen...
None of those protections are likely to go if the grizzly is delisted, says the FWS. What may vanish are the strict limits on timber cutting, mineral exploration and other development that the Endangered Species Act requires. Still, that doesn't mean the bears would find themselves in a free-fire zone. Idaho, Montana and Wyoming have no immediate plans for a grizzly-hunting season. If one is established, says France, "it's going to be like the ones they set up for bighorn sheep and moose: very few permits and a very close monitoring of the population." Indeed...
