...When reviewing plays, the technology is the television camera, but the average pro football team uses more computing power than the Apollo rockets that put a man on the moon. Apart from simulations and other analytical tools, players wear padding that is the result of thousands of man-years of ergonomic studies, while field generals communicate with their coaches through helmets with telecommunications links that have fidelity and security better than that used by Iraqi commanders during their recent loss to team America. The way things are going, future quarterbacks will have heads-up, intelligent displays that give them real...
Each campaign conforms to crude stereotypes. The biggest campaign corps belongs to Howard Dean, whose volunteers are overwhelmingly white and mostly female.

(Don't use cotton, which retains moisture against the skin.) Choose something like fleece or wool for your middle, insulating layer, and make sure your outer layer protects against the wind...
...more realistic fear is that some Muslim girls are forced by family members to wear the headscarf. But customs cannot be changed by government decree. This problem, where it exists, must be tackled by education—undertaken by both the state and, more importantly, the mosques. Islam is a religion based on a personal connection with God, and a forced devotion is no devotion...
