...else understands you, this car probably will. The redesigned Acura TL (around $35,000) has HandsFreeLink, a service for Bluetooth wireless phones. When you step into the 3.2L V6 ride, the system searches for your mobile phone. Once it makes contact, a phone icon pops up on the dash; to make a call, you just speak a name or number. The navigation system is also voice-operated and recognizes 293 different commands. For those who would rather listen than talk, the car comes standard with an ELS Surround audio system that pumps out DVD audio--from Sinatra to Linkin...
...qualities that made Austen a brilliant writer make her an ace detective, namely, her quick wit and her psychological acuity. Barron's cause is also aided by her deft marshaling of historical detail--the textiles alone (Sprigged muslin!

Give us enough gag writers (reportedly underpaid and overworked in his case) and a vast file of jokes (which he stored in a fireproof vault), and we thought we might, on a good night...
...date anymore. Datelines have tended to be mere placelines, now that most reporters use telephones or computers to file articles instantly from almost anywhere. For most readers, the dateline is either unnecessary or unnoticed. They treat it as nothing more than a handful of capital letters and a long dash. Datelines may have been helpful during the archaic age of telegraphs, the thinking probably goes, but they have long since outlived their usefulness...
There's no need to make a mad dash for the bank to refinance. The Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts that rates will hover around 6% for the rest of the year. Keep in mind that a 6% mortgage is still a better deal than those we have seen for most of the past 30 years. --By Barbara Kiviat
