	Humor Gandhi, Heff & Deadwood Anil Shrivastava "Musafir" Martin Luther King, Jr. was not the only American who emulated Mahatma Gandhi (Gandhi), Hugh Heffner (Hef) is definitely inspired by him too. Both Gandhi and Hef went through a miserable married life and both enjoyed the company of other women. While Gandhi abused and beat his wife (Kasturba), Hef's wife (Mildred) was unfaithful to him. Gandhi once said, "Show me a man who is very happy in the company of a woman and I'll show you a man who is not married to her." Questionable? Alright, prove me wrong! Read More.

	From The Publishers Desk Rise & Fall of World's 1st Superpower Bala Prasad One cannot discuss the concept of world superpowers without first having a basic understanding of the rise of the world's first superpower, the Holy Roman Empire, as well as of its fall. It all started in 800, when Frankish king Charlemagne travelled to Rome to provide assistance to Pope Leo III. In a ceremony in St Peter's, on Christmas Day, Leo was due to anoint Charlemagne's son as his heir; instead, the pope placed a crown on Charlemagne's head and acclaimed him emperor. Read More	American Scene Computer Wars David Began It is now time to take a fresh look as the true basis of America's status as the world's only superpower. When I was a youngster, I imagine it was the early 1970s, I remember hearing that in the future, wars would be fought by computer. Even though I didn't understand how the two sides might conduct the computer war, it seemed a bit absurd to me. Read More.
	Point Counterpoint Will America Remain the Sole Superpower? America on the Brink Musafir If we can't recognize a problem, we can't solve it. The superpowers of yesterday collapsed because they could not conceive of impending failure. We should recognize this and make corrections before it's too late. I don't want America to fail - no superpower has done more for the world as America. America's greatest strength, is independent thinking. Thomas Edison not only invented a practical incandescent light bulb, he mad one that was easily attainable for most people. Henry Ford's vision was to mass produced cars that common people could afford. Read More. Our Best Days Are Ahead Bala Prasad As we enter a new year, we should not underestimate the magnitude of the difficulties we face as a nation. We are still fighting wars on two fronts against enemies pledged to our destruction. Our economy continues to reel from a credit crisis of epic proportions, job losses continue to escalate, and the budgets of businesses and families across this country are stretched to a breaking point. But we, as Americans, have seen darker times. Read More	Mental Exercise Figure It Out!

The Aliens \respond that there is no time in space. The man asks what time it is? The Aliens \respond that there is no time in space. Win, Place, Show You need to find the three fastest horses out of a total of 25 horses. You don't have a stopwatch and so must determine horses speed by racing them. Assume that each time a horse races, it always runs at a consistent speed. The track for racing the horses allows five horses to race at a time. Roman Math Take sixteen matchsticks and form the calculation: I + II + III + IIII If you add this up, one plus two plus three plus four, it totals ten. Can you move just one matchstick, again using all sixteen matchsticks and make a calculation that equals four? Read More.
	Forgotten Science A Brief History of Time Mike Flynn Self-awareness is what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom. We are aware that we have been born, can expect to live for a while, and will eventually die. We are able to surmise this because we are aware of the passage of time.
