Increasing the Lance's range would give us more territory in which to hide them, thus making the deterrent safer, and it would give us greater flexibility about actually using them.

Early last year Wilson Sporting Goods hired Gail Jonkouski, a former NASA engineer, to design a golf ball that would fly farther and straighter than balls then in use. With the help of a computer, Jonkouski rearranged the dimples on the balls to reduce air friction...
