"I'm not even thinking about Mark McGwire," he said before a weekend series against Mac's St. Louis Cardinals.

...looking through things is the same one Wilhelm Roentgen used to photograph the bones in his wife's hand in 1895, although the newest X-ray devices are considerably more powerful. Last September, for example, the U.S. Customs Service placed an order worth more than $25 million for 15 truck-based X-ray inspection systems made by American Science and Engineering, Inc., in Billerica, Mass.

...stolen Volkswagen truck roared along the chaotic main street of Nablus. As Kamel Salameh wove the VW through the morning rush-hour traffic, he slammed into nine-year-old Islam Atallah. She spun off the hood like a doll, dead. With screaming tires, Salameh turned his truck and sped off. He headed for Balata refugee camp at the edge of Nablus. The patrolmen chasing him were nervous. The camp is a no-go area for Yasser Arafat's police. Salameh swerved into Balata's narrow streets and disappeared. Soon after, the police found the truck abandoned, but Salameh had melted...
