...easy to see why. In the event of an Israeli attack, Iran would surely retaliate, perhaps striking Israel with the conventionally armed missiles currently in its arsenal or goading Hizballah to unleash another round of terror attacks. Arab reaction to an Israeli air strike would also be grave for both Tel Aviv and Washington. "Even if the Israelis didn't get a yellow light from the U.S. and they decided they had to strike on their own, it would be viewed among all major Arab capitals as at least supported by the United States," Jones says. A Sept. 11 report...

Given the chaos that a war might unleash, what options does the world have to avoid it? One approach would be for the U.S. to accept Iran as a nuclear power and learn to live with an Iranian bomb, focusing its efforts on deterrence rather than pre-emption. The risk is that a nuclear-armed Iran would use its regional primacy to become the dominant foreign power in Iraq, threaten Israel and make it harder for Washington to exert its will in the region. And it could provoke Sunni countries in the region, like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to start...

...really doesn't matter what these films are ostensibly about; in the movies' classic age the great romances came in every genre guise - doomy film noirs, giddy romantic comedies, even musicals and costume dramas.

...years, while Germany and Poland have reserves of 6.7 billion tons and 14 billion tons, respectively. Despite those advantages, coal is still thought of as a dirty, carbon-heavy source of fuel, unwelcome in a world concerned with global warming and the potential environmental crises it could unleash. But that dilemma may be solved by new technologies that could reduce CO2 emissions from coal to nearly zero. Coal-fired power stations using "supercritical" boilers produce hotter steam to run the turbines: 600?C compared to around 540?C in an older plant. Supercritical plants make more efficient...

...decamped to labs in Europe or Singapore, where the government has made biotechnology a national priority. Some states have tried to fill the gap--California voted for a $3 billion bond initiative to fund stem-cell research. Advocates from Nancy Reagan to Michael J. Fox have pushed Congress to unleash more money and loosen the rules. Many Republicans as well as Democrats have been receptive, knowing that even socially conservative suburban voters tend to support the promise of research that they think might cure their parents' Alzheimer's or their children's diabetes. It fell to Senate majority leader Bill...
