...Internet already delivers 10,000 channels, and the only obstacle that prevents it from carrying live TV pictures is the bandwidth (or carrying capacity) of the data lines. Some video clips -- and at least one full-length video movie -- are already available on the network. And last spring, writer Carl Malamud began using the Internet to distribute a weekly "radio" interview show called Geek of the Week. Malamud is undeterred by the fact that it takes a computer about an hour over a high- speed modem to capture the 30 minutes of sound that a $10 radio can pick...

Postmodern directors have been shaking up grand opera for quite a while, especially in European cities like Hamburg, where this production was first unveiled in 1990.

...other Native Americans, whose forebears first crossed from Siberia to Alaska on a land bridge that now lies beneath the icy Bering Sea. From its colonial beginnings, the history of America has largely been the story of how immigrants from the Old World conquered the New. As the historian Carl Wittke noted, eight nationalities were represented on Columbus' first voyage to a continent that eventually received its name from a German mapmaker (Martin Walseemuller) working in a French college, who honored an Italian explorer (Amerigo Vespucci) sailing under the flag of Portugal...
