...spots are pricey - between $2.5 million and $3 million for this year's game, which will be played on Feb. 7. But the 100 million-strong audience, which includes a slew of people tuning in solely to dissect the commercials, almost guarantees instant brand buzz. No one knows this better than Pepsi, which has produced some memorable Super Bowl spots: a sweltering Cindy Crawford sipping on a Pepsi while a couple of adolescent boys admire the can, Britney Spears gyrating for the camera, those stupid dancing bears.

Nabokov deserves better than his offspring’s circular logic; these notes for what could have been remain genuinely tantalizing, especially in their flirtation with the idea of an “original” in a world in which people can be novelized, duplicated, or obliterated as desired.

Once an enemy finds a chink in U.S. cyberarmor and opts to exploit it, it will be too late for the U.S. to play defense (it takes 300 milliseconds for a keystroke to travel halfway around the world). Far better to be on the prowl for cybertrouble and - with a few keystrokes or by activating secret codes long ago secreted in a prospective foe's computer system - thwart any attack. Cyberdefense "never works" by itself, says the senior Pentagon officer. "There has to be an element of offense to have...
