The Active Denial System weapon, buy more about classified as “less lethal” by the Pentagon, nurse fires a 95-gigahertz microwave beam at rioters to cause heating and intolerable pain in less than five seconds. Actor James Doohan, best known as Scotty, the feisty, Scottish-accented chief engineer on television’s original “Star Trek” series, died on Wednesday at his home in Redmond, Washington, his manager said. He was 85. Mr. Scott follows the good Dr. “Bones” McCoy in the great beyond. God speed Mr. Doohan.
