...Bush Administration will dedicate more than $5 billion to research, develop and promote technologies including low-emission coal, renewables, nuclear power and vehicles powered by advanced biofuels, electricity and hydrogen. More than $40 billion in loan guarantees will help put such technologies to use. The President's 2009 budget calls for nearly $1 billion in public and private investment for the world's most ambitious program to demonstrate nearly emission-free power from coal. Last year's energy-bill mandates include billions of dollars of private investment to improve efficiency of vehicles, lighting and appliances and call for replacing...
...printed page before he landed his first feature film, in 1978. In 2003, Wesley Gibson, the cubicle-dwelling assassin in Mark Millar's nihilist graphic novel Wanted, had producers circling before his first issue even went to print. Millar's work is unlikely source material for a big-budget movie; one of his obscenely named villains is made of fecal matter from 666 evildoers, including Adolf Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmer.

...Walter Reed hospital scandal and the Secretary of the Air Force for lax stewardship of the nuclear arsenal. Early on, Gates encouraged the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq; he has been one of the few Bush officials open to negotiations with Iran. He has called for a larger budget for diplomacy - "which makes him far more popular than SecDefs usually are around here," a State Department official told me. He has clearly sided with the Army reformers against the Old Guard, and even called David Petraeus back to Washington to preside over a promotion board when it became clear...
