...dance in front of a camera. They move slowly on a little stage while a bunch of people watch. It’s…not all that inspiring. Didn’t we invent robots to do more interesting things than move glacially and hold red fans? Damn Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics; shouldn’t robots be threatening our lives by now? Robots really blew their chances—America was so afraid of them like 10 years ago, but they’re pretty robo-passé.Then, a hologram of Beck appears...
...fleshed out the locations and set the pace as they either zipped through the book or scrupulously savored every word. Often they have even cast it.

What's it like for a teacher's son from Normal, Ill., to deal with the notorious strongmen of Africa? "I've been doing the same thing for 50 years," he says with a shrug. "Just a bigger scale.

Washington should do more, since the U.S. is responsible for some 25% of the world's fossil-fuel consumption and the corresponding pollution. Karl M. Ortner Vienna...
...because Matthew Fox was donning a horrible mop-top wig. Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Sawyer is reeling in pain. The mysterious “Others” start that creepy whispering and in one instant another person is taken. Cut back to pouring rain (damn those tropical islands!) and Sayid is chasing Shannon through the forest. She’s sobbing and yelling at Sayid for not believing her about Walt. After all the crap she has been through I can’t blame her, but she should really hold onto Sayid because...
