Since the mid-1980s, cable mogul Ted Turner has longed to own a major broadcast network, making fruitless stabs at CBS and NBC. But as the Big Four networks continue losing viewers and gushing cash, some Turner properties are becoming a new sort of Must See TV. And that feat reflects the effectiveness of a programming strategy that’s extraordinary in scope and cost–and in risk. TNT and TBS, the two largest channels run by Turner Broadcasting Systems (now owned by Time Warner), have gone on an unprecedented buying binge, spending at least $750 million so far for the future TV premiere of hit movies like “The Matrix” and “The Mummy....

Under a system designed in the early 1980s, no single person can launch strategic weapons. To begin the process, a special military unit assigned to the president helps him generate a secret code. At the same time, the defense minister must generate his own launch code. Neither code will suffice for a launch....

The missile traveled 77 miles into Pakistani airspace before it crashed near the eastern city of Mian Channu.
