This was perhaps fortunate for Zuckerberg, as things went much better for him with his second attempt. Despite my initial skepticism, I’m forced to admit that thefacebook.com is for the moment an enormous success—it is better even than minesweeper at sucking up hours of my time that might otherwise be spent productively. I imagine its popularity can be attributed largely to its being low maintenance for all involved parties (even if its administrators lose interest in running it, it will continue to have value), and to the fact that it contains reams of specific...
...right when all they can hear is her grief? "We thought she was just traumatized by the fire," says her brother Evaristo de Jesus. And why, six years later, did a Pennsylvania politician and then the police decide to take this mother's instinct seriously? "I must admit, when Luz first came to me with this story, I had trouble believing her," says Angel Cruz, the Pennsylvania state representative who relayed Cuevas' story to Philadelphia law-enforcement officials.

In a nostalgic age, it is the rare indulgence that is passé without having quite acquired the mass following to be retro...
...Senate Judiciary Committee will hold its first hearing on the amendment idea this week. And after that? Well, after that, no amendment. It has almost no chance of being passed by Congress this year. Republican leaders admit in private that they don't have anything like the two-thirds vote needed in either chamber to send it along to the states. The Bush announcement took them almost completely by surprise. G.O.P congressional sources tell TIME that House Speaker Dennis Hastert first heard about it when the White House phoned his office just 15 minutes before the President appeared...
