...unlaced boots, jeans, flannel shirts and goggles. Gates' patriotic speech moved them. One woman told me that whenever she didn't feel like doing her job tightening those screws, she reminded herself that she would be saving the life of Johnny from next door. Most of the workers travel long distances to the factory. All along the road to the airport were boarded-up businesses and "For Sale" signs. Oshkosh Corp., under contract with the Pentagon, is one of the few employers around...
...instantaneous nature of cyberattacks that has rendered defenses against them obsolete. Once an enemy finds a chink in U.S. cyberarmor and opts to exploit it, it will be too late for the U.S. to play defense (it takes 300 milliseconds for a keystroke to travel halfway around the world). Far better to be on the prowl for cybertrouble and - with a few keystrokes or by activating secret codes long ago secreted in a prospective foe's computer system - thwart any attack. Cyberdefense "never works" by itself, says the senior Pentagon officer. "There has to be an element of offense...

Then there was his St. Louis Gateway Arch, a gleaming vertical curve that even now could serve as the logo for Tomorrowland...
Nevertheless, high-speed rail is an idea whose time has come - at least for environmentalists. According to Environment America, high-speed rail uses a third less energy per mile than auto or air travel, and a nationwide system could reduce oil use by 125 million bbl. a year. In addition, high-speed rail represents the kind of long-term infrastructure investment that will pay back for decades, just as the interstate highway system of the 1950s has. "This is a down payment on a truly national program," said Biden, who has logged more than 7,900 round trips...
