...have answers. No. No. And to this latest, I'll venture, no again. Microsoft continues to find vast markets to mine, and has closed the gap considerably since falling asleep at the Internet wheel a few years back. How it closed that gap is what has antitrust officials atwitter, seeking to demonopolize the company. Their effort is not to be taken lightly. The Internet, which officials want to keep wide open for competition, is a treasure that merits their watchful eye. And while few are talking about busting up Microsoft--like John D.

...Armstrong seems to be part mayor, part padre, gets her to tell her story. She was carjacked by a black man, she says.

The next night, after Renshaw gently reminded them about the importance of stimulation, they had intercourse for the first time in three years...
...what they were dealing with. They shone a spotlight into the back window, and a startled Mary jumped from under the covers she and Vili were sharing and into the driver's seat. She at first lied and said her companion was 18, and Vili pretended to be asleep. But the officers questioned him and learned his age. He had just turned 13. Even as Mary tried to explain herself--there was a fight with my husband; we were just sleeping; I often watch Vili--they were concerned enough to call in a sergeant. After all, Mary was clad...
