...balancing a pizza box with the other, he seemed remarkably unruffled by the vitriol spewing from Stalinist North Korea just 40 kilometers away. After taking another step toward mass production of nuclear weapons by announcing it was restarting a plutonium-producing reactor, North Korea last week vowed to unleash "total war" if the U.S. bombed the Yongbyon nuclear complex. That threat was followed by another: if America beefs up its military presence in the region, the peninsula "will be reduced to ashes, and the Koreans will not escape horrible nuclear disasters."

Variously described as understated and elusive, Watanabe nevertheless hasn't shied away from making bold, even shocking, statements on the runway. He famously bucked the minimalist lockstep of the mid-'90s to unleash a collection of clothing made of candy-colored polyvinyl chloride...
...HPMs can unleash in a flash as much electrical power--2 billion watts or more--as the Hoover Dam generates in 24 hours. Capacitors aboard the missile discharge an energy pulse--moving at the speed of light and impervious to bad weather--in front of the missile as it nears its target. That pulse can destroy any electronics within 1,000 ft. of the flash by short-circuiting internal electrical connections, thereby wrecking memory chips, ruining computer motherboards and generally screwing up electronic components not built to withstand such powerful surges. It's similar to what can happen to your...
...mind isn't limited to serious disease. Researchers have come to understand that what lies below the neck can also be harmed by less acute kinds of brain disturbances. The chronic stress that millions of people feel from simply trying to deal with the pressures of modern life can unleash a flood of hormones that are useful in the short term but subtly toxic if they persist. Thus it shouldn't come as a surprise that stress-reduction strategies that take pressure off the mind--meditation, yoga, relaxation exercises and such--can take the heat off the body as well...

But if the U.S. battles Iraq again, this time with the stated aim of removing President Saddam Hussein from power, as President Bush has threatened, intelligence analysts fear that Saddam, with nothing left to lose, will unleash his most pernicious arms. If he's got missiles and the U.N. doesn't find them first, that could expose not only U.S. troops but also millions of civilians in the region to Saddam's vengeance...
