...blacks who had to play in them. But there are shades of culpability. Astaire, donning blackface for his Bojangles of Harlem number, probably thought (from ignorance, not malice) that he was paying sincere tribute to the great dancer Bill Robinson. As for Mantan Moreland, the black comic whose bug-eyed mugging in Charlie Chan films earns Lee's particular ire, he also was the star of films made for, and presumably appreciated by, the black audience.

Last week saw the first-ever outbreak of a Trojan horse--a precursor of computer viruses--on PDAs running the popular Palm operating system. Liberty Crack, as the bug is known, masquerades as a game program, but when you install it and run it, it immediately erases all other programs on your Palm. Security experts say this is just the beginning. The smarter our appliances get, the more vulnerable they are to viruses. The next...
