...they right? It's hard to know whom to believe in this cloak-and-dagger debate. Civil libertarians tend to gloss over the fact that the world is full of bad people with crimes to hide. The software industry--which makes 48% of its profit overseas--is clearly less concerned with privacy than with losing foreign sales. And it may be no accident that the Administration chose to start making concessions the same week an influential software CEO--Netscape's Jim Barksdale--excoriated Clinton's cryptopolicy and endorsed Bob Dole...
...must bury old personas and migrate to new remailers. "There's a freedom to speak when you're anonymous," says a 39-year-old woman, a frequent poster to alt.sex.recovery who had used Helsingius' service since its inception.

The cloak of secrecy was tightened by the lack of any referendum to determine support for their policies. Rabin's senseless assassination might even have been averted if his cabinet had ever had the good sense to assess the true opinion of the average Israeli on the direction of the peace process...
...corporate downsizing [ESSAY, April 22] and validated many of the emotions that people where I work are experiencing post-merger. The nirvanic green world that beckons out there is a place from which many of us unwittingly withdrew years ago. Now Big Business waits quietly in a dark cloak carrying a scythe. It stalks the very elements that made it profitable and yielded it market share--its people who have labored so hard. The parvenues of "new management" will wring out every last drop of dedication from the drones in the name of profit. But as Keillor noted, there...
