The submission subject line wouldn't allow the whole title, '"The Mind Has No Firewall: Army article on psychotronic weapons', so I reduced it to "The Mind Has No Firewall" - psychotronic weapons.

I'm guessing the Stanford running team has access to spongy, soft tracks for training. I know I could run barefoot rather comfortably on a track made of cork or whatever that is.
