...ironic. Although network television loses viewers every year, ABC can still produce an audience of 18 million in a prime-time hour. Try to get that many visitors to your website in a day or a week. And cyberspace brands are not exempt from an old law of advertising that says share of mind leads to share of market. It's no wonder, then, that Web companies are widely dependent on the tube, as well as newspapers, magazines (thank you very much), radio and billboards, to imprint their brand names on as many brains as possible--particularly consumers who aren...

Not all people correct predictably after a given amount of applied laser energy. Remember, the goal of LASIK...
Hughes says he didn't see Jesus beckoning at the end of a tunnel of white light (although he claims to have seen Death opening his mouth). I would like to ask if he also didn't see Christ among the Aborigine family that found him, the Bidyadanga people who chanted to keep him alive, the Filipina nurse who wept for him, his friend Danny who raced to save his life, the police and the medics who got to the scene, the medical personnel who decided to fly him to Royal Perth Hospital, the people who operated for 13 hours...
