And while listeners around the table loved the concept, they were confused. The medical-mystery story [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The “think slow” part of Pixar planning, David Epstein explains (in Inside the Box), started before Pixar even existed: Catmull was surprised then, in 1980, when a Lucasfilm competitor spent $10 million on a Cray-1 super&#173;computer. He and his colleagues wondered if they should chase that competitor, so they sat down and made specific estimates [&#8230;]]]></description>

The elite, international, counter-terror force uses suppressed “MP10s,” which are clearly MP5s in 10mm, the hot new round at the time. In real life, the FBI’s SWAT teams and Hostage Rescue Team briefly used MP5s in 10mm: Out of [&#8230;]]]></description>
