POPSMore on Warrantless Wiretapping Wired News published Mark Klein's public statement in its entirety on April 6, 2006. Mr. Kline's statement bears review in light of the U.S. Senate's work on renewing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). There is talk of granting immunity to the telecom companies involved in warrantless wiretapping. Why should AT&T, Verizon, and the like get away with trampling our constitutional rights? Furthermore, one would hope that Congress will stand-up to President Bush this time around. Let's put a stop to President Bush overstepping his executive powers.

POPSSaturn, Rings, and Moons More breathtaking images can be seen at the NASA Cassini-Huygens website. Cassini is 1.4 billion kilometers from earth. That makes these images all the more awe inspiring.

POPSBeautiful Music "The gravikord is an electric double harp invented and patented by Robert Grawi in 1986. It is modeled after the 21 string West African kora. It is made of welded stainless steel tubing, with 24 nylon strings but no resonating gourd or skin. The bridge is a synthetic material designed very differently from the kora and the range of pitches is greater. While the hands are in a more ergonomic and natural position to the strings, the playing technique is similar to that of the kora: the player plucks the strings with the thumb and index finger of each hand."

POPSHolmes Shakes Tail in Nightsky At this time, Comet Holmes doesn't appear to have a tail. Astronomers do not know if one will eventually become visible. You can follow Comet Holmes progress with the naked eye. It can be seen in the northeast evening sky. It is in the Perseus constellation. First face the North Star (Polaris) and locate the constellation Cassiopeia, which is at about 2 o'clock from Polaris. Perseus is at about 4 o'clock from Cassiopeia. In the Perseus constellation, find the brightest star, Mirfak. Mirfak is the top corner of a small triangle. Comet Holmes is the lower-left corner of the small triangle.

POPSHistory Repeats Itself FRANÇOIS FURSTENBERG's comparison of the Bush administration's policies and the Jacobins is eye-opening. Can we learn from the excesses of the French Revolution?

POPSThe Golden Compass Sadly, Hollywood is watering down the message of Phillip Pullman's book. Is Pullman selling out to the Hollywood establishment?
