Benchmark statistical moments are almost always anticlimactic. When the U.S. population shifted from rural to urban areas in 1920, there was no annunciatory thunderclap. And in about 2060, the year by which census figures suggest that non-Hispanic whites will become less than 50% of the population, the switch will have long been old news. Still, such dates have historical cachet, and 2004 soon may too. The University of Chicago's respected National Opinion Research Center (NORC) has reported that the proportion of adult Americans calling themselves Protestants, a steady 63% for decades, fell suddenly to 52% from...
Despite the theoretical advantages of the quantum key code, Myers said researchers had to ensure the quantum network would be as secure as the equations suggest it should...
...Moqtada Sadr's exhortations to battle, his willingness to extend the confrontation throughout southern Iraq and also into Baghdad, and the failure thus far of all efforts to cajole him back into a truce, suggest the firebrand cleric is feeling lucky. By inviting the U.S. military to invade the spiritual epicenter of Iraqi Shiism, the new government risks fatally undermining its prospects for establishing legitimacy among Iraq's majority community.

...Sadr City slums of East Baghdad, where their capacity for challenging the authority of the U.S.-backed government may be even greater. Following new attacks by Sadr supporters on U.S. and government targets in the capital late last week, the government declared a curfew in Sadr City - but reports suggest it has been widely ignored. Since the resumption of hostilities at Najaf, Sadr's supporters throughout southern Iraq have resumed efforts to disrupt the peace. They've been particularly effective in Basra, where Iraqi authorities have been forced to suspend oil exports for the past two days in response...
...nine other East European states--not to go "weak in the knees" over Iraq. Hungary has only 354 troops there, but the parliamentary mandate that approved the deployment expires this year, and the ruling party may not have the two-thirds majority required to extend their stay. Polls suggest that some 70% of Hungarians are against the idea, and the incumbent party could face a stiff challenge in elections expected next year. Political pressure may also be building in Poland, a staunch ally that contributed 2,500 troops to the occupation. Opposition there to the Iraqi deployment rose from less...
