Lady Antonia Fraser, biographer of Oliver Cromwell: "If I were alive, I would detest it because I don't like living biographies which are either muckraking or hagiographical. If I were dead, I still wouldn't want it... I wouldn't want the whole truth about me told. I don't feel I'm so perfect that I would like it recorded...

...mail addresses." Quittner didn't mention what Hirsch leaves behind while building his business--the problem of unsolicited commercial e-mail, most commonly known as spam. Right now I have more than 1,000 spam messages in my e-mail In-box folder. Those of us who detest spam support the right of porn websites to exist. We do not support the indiscriminate flooding of our e-mail In boxes with unsolicited commercial e-mail. BRUCE MILLER, President Telecommunications Users Group Seattle...

Because spammers are such a fast-moving target--using constantly changing bogus return addresses--their stuff is almost impossible to stamp out. But help is on the way.

...Simpson trial, the nanny trial or the birth of septuplets in Iowa seem entirely out of proportion to their actual significance. I believe there is a special circle in hell reserved for any television network that ever opened a broadcast with a story about Tonya Harding. And I detest local news stations that never once offer a decent, thoughtful story about education, but are always on the scene the moment someone falls down a manhole or gets an ear bitten...
