...strike has made commercials disappear. The 167 people watching the NBC Olympics can testify to that. But you'll find more spots using animation instead of live action, and possibly more "golden oldies"; actress Bonnie Bartlett, who plays Sela Ward's mom on the ABC series "Once and Again," says Crest just re-released a commercial she shot in the 1960s. There are also few new spots that feature celebrity appearances or star voice-overs. A rare exception is Tiger Woods' Buick commercial; the golf god shot it in Canada and, when told he was a scab, feigned ignorance...
...from passively consuming mass-marketed culture; the Internet, as he sees it, offers a medium through which to re-create communities. "People are culture-bearing beings, but culture is not going to break out where people are anonymous and thrown together in a mass," he says.

Harvey, a self-educated college dropout, talks a lot about William James, agora, public squares and preaching civitas. Only he makes it interesting...
...School's tunnels--every machine has been hit once. And the science labs have been the target of several larcenies in the last few days. The suspect in the larcenies is a 5-foot 10-inch 35-year-old black male. Everywhere this man goes, things seem to disappear...
...Olympic gold twice and silver once, and is a gold-medal contender in Sydney. He has been the master of his discipline for 15 years. Yet he's unknown--for it's the fate of rapid-fire pistol shooters not to make it into the spotlight but to disappear, as their bullets must, into a dark circle...
Without action, major changes appear inevitable. Should surface water temperatures in the high Arctic rise just a few degrees, the sea ice could disappear entirely, but even a partial melting could devastate the northern hemisphere's climate. A combination of melting ice, increased precipitation and runoff from melting glaciers on land could leave a layer of buoyant freshwater floating atop the denser salt water, at a point in the North Atlantic where water ordinarily cools and sinks. The lighter freshwater wouldn't sink, interrupting the vertical circulation at a crucial point in the cycling of heat through the ocean...
