...receipts and hard drives and voice mail; these are all standard prosecutorial tactics. Yet earlier prosecutors like Lawrence Walsh and Robert Fiske elected not to use all the weapons in their arsenal. Even Nixon's adversaries never subpoenaed the President. In the past there has been a grease of custom and compromise that kept Presidents and prosecutors from getting this far in the hole. "You never want to litigate questions of separation of powers," says C. Boyden Gray, George Bush's White House counsel.

...notion--of personalized content and advertising--has been a kind of Internet holy grail for years. Now, finally, the Web is delivering. Its tens of thousands of sites can match your needs and desires as quickly as your Pentium can get online. It's possible to get everything from custom newspapers to electronic newsletters that alert you to sales of items you've always craved. Futurists used to call these services "The Daily Me," a play on the idea of daily newspapers. But customized websites are delivering something more like "the instant me"--real-time collections of just the information...
