Experts who track that shadowy faith warn that anxiety over the approaching millennium, the power of the Internet and a new emphasis on independent action rather than group effort may contribute to a kind of domestic terrorism that is harder to track and impossible to anticipate. At its heart are an unknown cohort of largely disgruntled white males, many of whom, like Furrow, have failed so many times that they've given up trying to succeed in the mainstream of American life. Spurred on by the rhetoric of a handful of racist high priests, they are turning increasingly to violence...
...Tuesday's approach that frightens the activists. Should Cassini pass too close to Earth and burn up in the atmosphere, they warn, radioactive plutonium in the generators that provide the craft's electricity could cause millions of cancer deaths. Most scientists and doctors scoff at such claims. Any plutonium vaporized in an accident, they explain, would be so diluted in the atmosphere that it would pose no real threat to most people. Still, activists say, had Cassini been equipped with solar panels for electricity, all danger could have been averted. But Saturn receives only a hundredth of the sunlight Earth...

Feeding Your Child also has the smartest take I've ever seen on the importance of variety in healthy eating. Government guidelines stress the consumption of many different foods. But they never warn that this can work against you. Studies show that if a plate contains two types of cookies, for instance, you'll eat more than if only one kind is available. The same is true for vegetables. Roberts and Heyman advise parents that if they must keep cookies in the house, they should stick to one brand and save the variety for healthier foods. As with anything having...
