IEEE Spectrum May 2006 Elizabeth Svoboda	Shot in the Dark Will the National Ignition Facility, which says it can produce fusion in controlled conditions allowing weapons specialists to simulate the detonation of different types of bombs, usher in a new nuclear era -- or is it a $4 billion lemon?
Reason May 2006 Brendan O'Neill	The Shocking Truth About Osama bin Laden Perhaps bin Laden turned to the blogosphere after 9/11, in search of theories and arguments with which he might justify his murderous assault.
