...sands of the sea, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in every 24 hours--if you should reveal the secrets belonging to the degree of first-degree Mason. The second degree is to have your breast torn open and left prey to the vultures of the air. The third degree..." If he wonders whether anyone really cares what happens when you reveal the secrets of a third-degree Mason, Feingold doesn...
...three-day "cooling-off period" between Microsoft and the U.S. Justice Department reached its climax this weekend, the temperature in Washington soared into the 90s and the negotiators were driven out of their conference room in the 60-year-old main Justice building for lack of weekend air conditioning. They beat the heat in the offices of Microsoft's lawyers, Sullivan and Cromwell, but even there cooler heads did not prevail. In a matter of hours, the negotiations collapsed.

Perhaps DreamWorks, who spent $27 million destroying the Earth, will offer to write NASA a check...
Worse than nothing, actually. After nine years on the air--eight seasons on ABC, where the show earned solid ratings and anchored the kid-friendly "TGIF" lineup; and a final season on CBS, where viewership dropped sharply--Family Matters hasn't just been canceled. CBS pulled the show off the air in January, and is holding the final seven episodes until June and July, when most of its fans will be at summer camp. Don't expect much hoopla for the two-part finale, in which the newly engaged Steve Urkel, once TV's favorite nerd, is chosen...
