...management chief Jack Brock told a Senate subcomitte hearing of an infamous 1994 case where a16 year old British teenager broke into the computer of the Air Force command and control research facility in Rome, New York. He gained access to the system more than 150 times, hiding his trail through international phone systems in South America, Seattle and New York. The boy used his access to reach systems at NASA's space flight center, defense contractors around the nation and the South Korean atomic energy center. Senator Sam Nunn, ranking Democrat on the committee, said that Internet crime presents...
...already made hockey more accessible with the computer-enhanced puck that gives off a comet-like trail when slapped. On its football telecasts, Fox introduced not only a little score box in the corner of the screen but also the comedy team of Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long. They may be best taken in small doses, but a black-and-white barbershop scene that opened a pregame show in Fox's first N.F.L. season and featured the ex-players reminiscing with a barber about the old days of football was as clever and as humorous as TV gets, much less...
...FORTUNE. He joins a list of semifamous, boldface names such as Stephanopoulos and Eric Breindel (editorial-page editor of the New York Post and significant other of Lally Weymouth, daughter of Washington Post matriarch Katharine Graham); and wise guys like Michael Lewis, who filed fascinating dispatches from the campaign trail, including information on his own body odor; and Jacob Weisberg, probably the most brilliant young fogy to pass through the magazine since Michael Kinsley; and Mickey Kaus, author of a book on welfare reform and a worthy Kinsley successor as the TRB columnist.

He recruited and commanded a rabid band of "volunteers" dubbed the Chetniks in honor of Serbia's World War II royalist antifascist squads. Dressed in natty black jackets, the Chetniks left a well-documented trail of blood as they rampaged across Croatia and Bosnia, all the while bragging they were acting under Seselj's command. They exaggerate, he says. "I just happen to have had the traditional Chetnik title of Duke assigned...
...awaits the lifting of the U.S. embargo more eagerly than Cuban scientists, who struggle to obtain basic supplies--chemical reagents, for instance--that in the U.S. are but a phone call away, and whose incomes are starting to trail behind those of service workers buoyed by Cuba's rising tourist trade. CIGB has reportedly started paying its scientists partly in dollars to keep them from leaving the field. "I love my research," confides a hardworking scientist. "But if I have to drive a taxi to support my family, I will...
