The notion that the bioweapons program wound down in the 1990s is flatly rejected by Richard Spertzel, who led the U.N. hunt for biological weapons inside Iraq from 1994 to 1998. "We were developing pretty good evidence of a continuing program in '97 and '98," he says. Some U.N. inspectors, disagree, saying they believe that there was no further production after 1991.

It’s the diversification that gives...
...young man, with no money for a garage, he would jack up cars in his yard and tinker with them. Then, as his plumbing company grew successful, he found that cars offered an escape from work stress. "When you come home at 11 p.m., and you're wound up, you go in the garage, get your wrenches, start working on stuff. Your hands get a little bloody, a little dirty, and you're ready for bed at 1 a.m.," he says, perhaps explaining why, in Rennick's custom-built Yucca Valley, Calif., home, the garage is bigger than the house...
