Meet the people who fought — and continue to fight — our wars in the Middle East.
by Charles Cieri

Little Anthony's mother didn't like the 18-inch sabre he'd hung above his bed.
by Mike Newall

In the apartment upstairs, Edward Harty was lounging in his underwear watching the Discovery Channel. His 11-year-old son heard commotion. Edward went to his front door but didn't hear anything.

City Paper Grade: B
by Sam Adams
The movie successfully imagines a distant but recognizable future in which the planet's energy problems have been solved by a transition to fusion. But we discover eventually that consumption has only been displaced and not eliminated, and that the true fuel source is not lunar rock but something far more precious.

In the future, will science be cooler than rock 'n' roll?
by Holly Otterbein
When I reach Scott Beibin over the phone, he's acting like a rock star. The thing is, he's not one — dude never shredded a guitar in his life. A much better description would be "artsy scientist" or even simply "nerd from West Philly."
