...electronic wallet got one step closer to reality on Monday when Citibank unveiled a cell-phone-based service that lets customers pay bills, check their account balances and transfer funds, regardless of which wireless carrier they use. The free program, Citi Mobile, will be available for customers in Southern California via download this week at Citibank.com and will go nationwide this summer. AT&T, Sprint and Verizon customers can start using the program this week, with other carriers and a Spanish-language version out later this year. "We're changing.

But inclusion of the outside e-mail account opens the door for questioning Sampson on the use of such accounts by the White House and other administration officials...
...sophomore winter, on one of those stinging cold days. I purchased a phone plan, which came with a new number, a heinous gray Nokia, and enchanting missives from one Dr. Ali. That afternoon, I received an unexpected text message, the subject line of a forward from his unnamed Hotmail account: “FW: Pictures of Layla.” I deleted the message. Around dinner time, I received “FW: More pictures of Layla.” A new baby, I imagined, wondering how long it would take before the sender realized that I was no relation...
