Dressed in a black button down and khakis, Kubik, who speaks without a trace of a Polish accent—though with a hint of Addison, Illinois, the suburb of Chicago where he now lives—addressed the audience in English and Walesa in Polish, asking him about coal mines in the country. The mines’ workers, finding themselves out of work and now faced with a supply-and-demand economy and not all that much demand, have attacked the economic policies of the current government...

Users must cough up a subscription fee, along with a credit-card number and personal information that can then be used to trace the perpetrator of any future abuse.

...important next step would be to make the detection technologies faster and smaller. At Livermore, scientists developed and recently licensed a device called RadScout. Designed to detect trace amounts of radiation, it's a battery-powered, lunch-box-size handheld detector that customs officers could use to inspect suspicious containers at close range.

To spread his message of "leave no trace," he mingles with the climbers as much as possible and plays host to a coffee each Sunday morning at Camp 4. Hardest to educate are the growing legions of boulderers, many of whom started climbing in gyms and regard the sport as a social activity, not a wilderness experience. Bouldering is cheap, requiring no ropes or expensive equipment, and it attracts younger climbers, who hang out in groups watching each other...
