...agreement that the Defense Department should move aggressively to develop such techniques, many senior Pentagon officers fear that an enemy could just as easily develop the same weapons and use them against the U.S. "When people talk about the tremendous potential of this warfare, they need to take a bite out of the reality sandwich," says Colonel Richard Szafranski, an instructor at the Air Force's Air War College. An infowar arms race could be one the U.S. would lose because it is already so vulnerable to such attacks. Indeed, the cyber enhancements that the military is banking...
Fear not, G fans. reports of Godzilla's death [PEOPLE, July 31] are at least somewhat exaggerated. While it is true that after 22 starring roles the Big Guy may bite the dust in his latest flick, the word on Monster Island is that his lookalike offspring (introduced in 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla) is being groomed to resume the series in just a couple of years.

"Elitist welfare for the rich." The NEA? "State-subsidized porn." The NEH? "P.c. revisionist history." By a vote of 230 to 194, driven by a rump of dozens of junior members, the House voted to "zero out" all funding...
What especially worries those familiar with the newfound ailment is that doctors may fail to recognize it and so may not treat it properly. Unlike Lyme disease, which usually begins with a bull's-eye rash around the site of the tick bite, HGE has no telltale warning signs. Nor is there a definitive test for the disease. Doctors must base their diagnosis on such circumstantial evidence as abnormal spots on white blood cells and a low level of white cells or platelets in the blood. Furthermore, the drug most commonly used for Lyme disease -- amoxicillin -- is useless against...
