...cars a year. He's already working closely with two large carmakers that are interested in the system - he won't divulge any details - and expects to begin a project with a third in January. He's also been in contact with engineering firms that want to get into auto-making. Murray sees no reason why other major brands, say Apple or Sony, couldn't license the technology to start making their own versions of fuel-efficient or electric cars. (See the best inventions...

And it is not for want of money that thousands of residents of the coastal enclave remain homeless this winter. Moved by the plight of Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinians who were already reeling from a 2½-year economic siege imposed by Israel with help from Egypt and the U.S. even before Israel's air-and-ground...
