...have a computer at home? If so, count yourself lucky. Since the birth of the personal computer in the 1970s, access to technology has been largely restricted to the upper-middle class...
Earlier this year, The Dallas Morning News published a story saying Timothy McVeigh had told his defense team that he bombed the Oklahoma City federal building, and that he intended to leave a "body count" in order to "make our point" to the Federal Government. In your story naming the Morning News one of America's best papers, you assert that publishing that story constituted some kind of journalistic faux pas.

But we do count on him, as the emblem of our age, not to give in to the ravages of time. He was re-elected in part because he complied. He looks improbably young. His hair may be gray, but it's all there. He runs without gasping for air, and he's managed...
