...University of Chicago, who has worked on strings, is unfortunate. "I wish string theorists would take the goal of connecting to experiment more seriously," he says. "It's true that nobody has any good idea of how to test string theory, but who's to say someone won't wake up tomorrow morning and think of one? The reason so many people keep working on it is that, whatever its flaws, the theory is still more promising than any other approach we have...
...course, many Americans would not like some of what they would see or hear in these self-governing institutions-- schoolroom maps of the Middle East with no representation of Israel, expressions of sympathy for groups like Hizballah and, in the wake of 9/11 and the Patriot Act, passionate complaints about being unfairly targeted by government officials.

The hyperactive comic, who has three movies due this fall, "looks forward to returning to work," his spokeswoman said. Audiences that...
...look harmless. In 2002 the FBI issued a warning that al-Qaeda members had discussed sneaking onto planes liquid explosives disguised as coffee. The bombers who struck London's transit system in July 2005 used a variant of a peroxide-based explosive, triacetone triperoxide (TATP). "We didn't wake up and discover liquid explosives this week," says DHS Deputy Secretary Michael Jackson...
