...DRAW OF PARIS THIS spring is the show titled "The Century of Titian," which fills the Grand Palais until June 14. It is not about Venice as a city; it contains nothing topographical, nothing designed to evoke the scenography of the past -- no furniture, pseudo decor, multimedia "educational" clutter.

The premiere episode revolves around a naive newcomer to the squad (Kyle Secor) who faces, yes, resentment from the old pros, because he came from a wimpy job on the mayor's security detail. By Episode 2 (the following Wednesday), the show already seems to be marking time with goofy character diversions. One detective jabbers obsessively about finding the real killer of President Lincoln; another gets crime-solving help from a ghost; a third, a middle...

...networks of the future will become increasingly populated with new kinds of software entities known as personal assistants, or "agents." These agents will monitor the outside world, gleaning pertinent information, filtering out unwanted clutter, tracking appointments and offering advice. A travel "agent," for example, would be indispensable to a foreign traveler by doing simultaneous translations or pointing out sites of interest. A virtual lawyer could give expert legal opinions, a Wall Street agent timely investment tips...
