Indeed, while this thieving city robs too-prepared travelers of their well-drawn maps, it has a canny habit of giving them a better sense of direction. For to be once lost in Delhi is to be taught the thrill of wandering back alleys and narrow side streets, of perusing untouristed markets and treading unworn paths, of dining off unfamiliar dishware and drinking from unpurified spouts, of being curious, taking risks, discovering what lies off life's major thoroughfares--of coming home at night wearing the city in which you live...
...guide itself into a suicidal collision with the warhead. It will be receiving guidance from far below as early-warning radar systems detect the incoming warhead. These systems hand off data to a so-called X-band radar system based on Kwajalein, which stabs the sky with a narrow beam of electronic pulses. The X-band's shorter wavelengths and advanced signal-processing capabilities give it the power to "draw" a clear image of the incoming warheads and surrounding decoys from up to 1,000 miles away. (Ultimately, the system's $500 million X-band radar will be based...

"But you can sit here for a day and a half waiting on your turn to lock." So the corps wants to build seven new 1,200-ft. chambers--double the length of the current locks--at a cost of $1.2 billion.

Barak's coalition crisis will only narrow his scope for concessions...
...during children's hours, but later in the day, when he triple-bogeyed, he just chuckled. He then erased that mistake with three birdies. And he did it all on a course well known by every golf fan--one that sets a standard for championship play. The fairways were narrow. The rough was deep. The wind blew. The greens were hard and fast. We know what the world's best golfers have shot at Pebble over the decades, and Tiger shot a score nobody is supposed to shoot...
