...REAL RAY GUNS Further out on the horizon, the line between weapons development and science fiction becomes perilously thin. Mission Research Corp. of Santa Barbara, Calif., is working on a pulsed energy projectile (PEP) that superheats the surface moisture around a target so rapidly that it literally explodes, producing a bright flash of light and a loud bang. The effect is like a stun grenade, but unlike a grenade the pep travels at nearly the speed of light and can take out a target with pinpoint accuracy.

In my reporting since Sept. 11, I have discovered a number of security issues that I have in the end not written about...
...love food as much as I love politics. More often than not, both inclinations have left me, well, a bit bloated. That's how I got interested in vegetarianism. Instead of the popular low-carb diet, which had left many friends thin but slightly gray from consuming virtually all meat, I decided to skip all meat and dairy, like the vegans do. It would, I thought, be a great way to melt away those lunches with sources...
