Armbanduhr mit Kernkraftwerk
Noch nicht im Handel: Future-Gadgets Ist die von Rolex? Nein, von der LFT. Und die Spezial-Armbanduhr ist nicht nur für einen einzelnen Agenten gedacht, sondern für alle höheren Flottenoffiziere. Sternenflottenoffiziere. James Bond würde wohl zwangsläufig neidisch werden: Das Vielzweck-Armbandgerät R-16 S/d, das die besser gestellten Helfer von Superheld Perry Rhodan tragen dürfen, sieht zwar nicht besonders hübsch aus. Dafür enthält es aber Technik vom Feinsten.

Bush quotes most notable of 2006 expert says
President Bush scored high Thursday on a list he may not be keen to top.
Three of Bush's quotes, led by his "I'm the Decider" remark in April, head 2006's most notable quotations compiled by Fred R. Shapiro, editor of the Yale Book of Quotations.
Bush's comment that "I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense" is followed by his State of the Union address quote that "America is addicted to oil" and by his comment on Hurricane Katrina to high school students in New Orleans: "I take full responsibility for the federal government's response."
