...chat room. To join the highly secretive "Wonderland" club, each member had to cough up steep membership dues: 10,000 sexually explicit images of kids. Once inside, at the bottom of seven layers of electronic security, they had access to 750,000. There are pictures of a fair-haired toddler, still in diapers, being sexually abused; of young girls and boys, even babies as young as three months, being raped, genitally and anally; of children performing sex acts on each other and on adults; young boys in chains; recordings of children's screams as they are beaten.

One by one, Zeus searches for a particular code, dips into the corresponding well with a fine, quill-like probe and picks up a minuscule droplet of liquid...
...tech. "For people who have a tough time swallowing pills," says Langer, "a company called Alkermes has developed a special straw that is loaded with a premeasured dose of dry medication. The patient then uses the straw to sip water, a soft drink or apple juice."
