...however, it is the Liberals who are in trouble. Since regaining his office from Clark, Trudeau has grappled unsuccessfully with Canada's limping economy while unemployment has risen above 12%. Trudeau has said he would not lead his party in another election. Whoever does may be in for trouble. A recent poll indicated that only 32% of voters favor the Liberals, while 50% prefer the Tories. If the untested Mulroney holds on to that lead, he could become the next Prime Minister...

After that dogfight comes a showdown with a couple of Air Force jets...

Recently a hacker created a program known informally as Lose Big; it looks like a game but actually is a trap that destroys the files of whoever runs the program. "Nerds," which is what hackers call computer dilettantes, are the chief victims of Lose Big. "You see a guy at the terminal," says Veteran Hacker Rudy Nedved, 23, "and suddenly he gets this 'Oops, what happened?' look on his face." Such techniques are sometimes used...
