...there's some life in the films, especially the early ones. They still play briskly; Home of the Brave, The Men, High Noon, The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. and The Wild One all run under 90 minutes. And Kramer had a knack for finding sharp writers (Carl Foreman, John Paxton, Ted ["Dr. Seuss"] Geisel) and fresh actors; Marlon Brando (The Men) and Grace Kelly (High Noon) made their first strong movie impressions in his films...

...knowledge gap continues. At a Washington dinner party recently, out of deference to a visitor from cyberworld, the talk turned to computers. One guest made a brave foray: "What is this thing Pathfinder I keep hearing about?" Answer: Pathfinder is one of the most heavily trafficked sites on the Web. The company that owns this very magazine has spent untold millions building and promoting it.
