...human wonder like nothing since Helen of Troy. We're the "wired" generation, throwing out those silly paper books and riding the digital wave. Isn't that correct? Swell. Excuse me for not exuding giddiness over a development that, for all its great potential, still exists largely as a bog of mental quicksand for perverts and ninth-graders (often one and the same) to wade around in. Right now the experts are claiming that the Internet will forge a bond of understanding and goodwill across the globe. Of course, if you'll recall, the previous generation of experts said...
...music has enough muscle and melody to lift the material and the spirits. He can get our blood flowing with a rousing fight song (Into the Fire in Pimpernel) or brighten a brittle critique of social mores with an infectious melodic motif (Facade in Jekyll). Even when his ballads bog down in gooey lyrics (by Leslie Bricusse in Jekyll; Nan Knighton in Pimpernel), the simple but affecting tunes can stick with you. And if they get played on the radio, why not? "There are times when the emotions transcend the moment in the show," Wildhorn explains. "When that happens...
...could rest its case as early as next Friday. Originally, prosecutors had said it would take six to eight weeks to present their evidence from a line-up of 327 witnesses.

O.J. will get another chance to speak in his own defense; his attorneys in the wrongful-death suit brought by the victims' families will recall him to the stand to answer friendlier questions when they present their case. But as in the criminal trial, it may be hard to recognize a defining moment when it actually occurs. Detective...
...multiply until we do have serious problems. We must strike a balance between fighting for every last amenity and recognizing that such amenities are, although sometimes deserved, often quite trivial. Easy changes should be pursued. Inconsistencies and sources of problems should be noted. Like students standing in a cold bog on a rainy day, we should make what minor adjustments we can to improve our living conditions. But, like those students, we should realize that we can deal with the flaws in our situation, and we should not go too far out of our way to remedy them. We should...
