...have other advantages that the final product will not possess. The mock warhead, in fact, will basically shout, "Here I am!" to those trying to shoot it down. That's because it will carry a global-positioning-system transmitter, the same satellite technology that keeps motorists from getting lost. Although Pentagon documents say GPS data will help guide the interceptor during test flights, program officials say the data will be used only if other methods fail. Any use of GPS data, says Coyle, "does not suitably stress the system in a realistic enough manner to support acquisition decisions...
...give the 5,108 hopeless men on this former slave-breeding farm hope, even though 86% of them will stay here for "life and one dark day." The dark day is the one after they die, when their body gets embalmed and waits to go home and get buried, although the truth is that when they die, no one comes, and they get buried right here on the Farm.

Because although the ailing septuagenarian Yasser Arafat may be the effective president-for-life of the Palestinians, concern over his own legacy - particularly the fear of being remembered as a traitor rather than a savior - has him going to Washington looking over his left shoulder. He even invited members of two left-wing...
...Although "Goblet of Fire" sags a little now and then, Rowling's astonishing inventiveness in describing new wizardly wonders and her sly sense of humor usually keep things moving along briskly. Nearly every page offers something intriguing or funny. There are, for example, the odd books on magic that the studious Hermione consults, including "Men Who Love Dragons Too Much" and "Where There's a Wand, There's a Way." No wonder the parents who started reading these books to their children found themselves hooked. But this time, some of those parents may want to keep the book away from...
