...something. If you keep your wits and don't get carried away, you can do well," observed Robert Delaney, an antiques dealer, on his way to pick up a bronze sculpture by Denver artist Edgar Britton, for which he successfully bid $1,700. Art dealer Charles Angelucci, on his cellular phone to clients as he bid, exulted over a Thomas Sully family portrait that he bought for $3,000. That was $2,000 under the estimate by Christie's, which conducted the auction and took a 15% commission off the gross...
...innocent,'" McKenna recalls. "'Please don't hang up on me. I understand that you have some tapes, and I am begging you to let me hear them.' She said she would have to call her lawyer. I gave her all my phone numbers, my home, my office, my cellular, my dog's phone number. And her lawyer called me about a half-hour later." McKenna says McKinny did not want to come forward with the tapes, but they continued to negotiate until the defense subpoenaed the tapes...
...human mind--our emotions, our wants, our needs--evolved in an environment lacking, for example, cellular phones. And, for that matter, regular phones, telegraphs and even hieroglyphs--and cars, railroads and chariots. This much is fairly obvious and, indeed, is a theme going back at least to Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents. But the analysis rarely gets past the obvious; when it does, it sometimes veers toward the dubious. Freud's ideas about the evolutionary history of our species are now considered--to put it charitably--dated. He hypothesized, for example, that our ancestors lived in a "primal horde...
...Libicki, an information-warfare expert at the National Defense University, also doubts that the U.S. will ever be able to crush an enemy's information system completely. "The bits will get through," he contends. Enemy armies will always find ways to get messages past electronic jamming. With networked microcomputers, cellular phones and video conferencing available, an enemy leader can disperse his command centers to many locations, making it difficult for an attacker to destroy them all. And psy-warriors must compete with a blizzard of electronic media outlets such as commercial television networks, CNN and the Internet for the attention...
...consciousness is merely electrons passing from neuron to neuron, could all matter be in some sense conscious? All matter exhibits energy transfer of some type. Could the entire universe be conscious and yet unaware of it, just as the living individual cells in our brains, which have cellular consciousness, are unaware of the whole of the human organism? There are cycles within cycles and levels within levels. STEVEN SWITZER Philadelphia...
