...nothing perhaps compared with what lies ahead. All around Ted's cabin, FBI agents continue to dig for clues to connect him to the Unabomber. Late last week David and his mother Wanda visited the offices of the federal public defender in Washington. Is David now hoping to shield Ted from the law he gave him over to?

...timing couldn't be better. The World Wide Web's chaotic infobloom is starting to strain the limits of today's popular but simpleminded search engines (which work, for the most part, by matching up key words). But CYC, with its ability to make commonsensical leaps of logic, can connect a request, say, for pictures of "happy people" with the caption, "A man watching his daughter learn to walk...
