...genius Steven Levitt. Zant was still hung up on Julia, and he left behind some coded clues for her to indicate who bumped him off. Meanwhile, the U.S. President is running for re-election, and Lemaster may have some dirt on him--they were college roommates--and the Carlyles' brilliant daughter Vanessa is obsessed with a cold case from 30 years ago involving a white girl who may or may not have been killed by a black teenager. It will all, the reader can be grimly certain, fit together and will somehow dovetail with the old amusement park haunted...
Take your daughter to work day, in April, is a brilliant idea, and I can't wait to take part in it once my little girl is old enough to stop confusing "writer" with "waiter." Take Your Dog to Work Day--June 22--is a cynical copycat that for me confirms this cold truth: in my heart, my daughter and my dog are not equals...
...what? Maybe if the idea weren't so closely associated with hippies like Al Gore, conservatives might see carbon credits for what they also are: a brilliant next step in the development of capitalism.

Twenty years from now, maybe sooner, gays will have...
...product quite often vomits data and dies. But not always. The two best demos I've seen this year were from two very different companies, Apple and Microsoft, and oddly enough, they were in many ways demos of the same product. One is a gimme: the iPhone, Apple's brilliant deconstruction of the common cell phone, due out June 29. The other is a product mysteriously code-named Milan, from a new branch of Microsoft called, not much less mysteriously, surface computing. What the two have in common is a very advanced touch screen...
