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. Sendmail Inc., makers of the most popular E-mail-routing software, says its new version has a built-in antispam tool kit that includes a virtually spamproof address verifier...

...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...
