...master of juggling e-mail, voice mail, cell-phone calls and the like? No, you're not, says this slim fable-cum-manifesto against multitasking. The author, a business coach, gently ridicules the idea that anyone can concentrate on two things at the same time. What we're really doing, he says, is "switchtasking"--switching back and forth quickly and inefficiently from one task to the next. And when we give people our segmented attention and piecemeal time, says Crenshaw, "we end up damaging relationships." So put down that damn BlackBerry, as it were...
...saying “Come here, get your free stuff, schmooze a bit, and get on with your life.” But, like any good OCS acolyte, Velani wasn’t too zen about it, advising career fair attendees to “get contact info and e-mail one on one.” Maintaining a surprisingly sunny outlook, Rossen D. Kralev ’09 says, “Hedge fund people are a lot of fun.” (We’re guessing that depends on your definition of fun.) And for the attendees...
After the bailout bill went down in defeat, most of the legislators who had voted against it sang this refrain: The voters made us do it. Indeed, before Monday's vote, angry constituents overwhelmingly panned the plan championed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The volume of e-mail crashed the House's website.

Another St. Helena resident, Paul Tuttle, a registered Republican, peppered his Representative, Democrat Mike Thompson, with anti-bailout e-mail. "I think it was bad legislation," says Tuttle. "You're socializing risk. It's like creating the U.S.S.R. under the U.S. flag." Thompson voted against the measure. Says Tuttle: "We have a perfectly valid branch, the FDIC, there to take care of problem banks. Let them close...
...McCain allies characterize this grass-roots wing of the party as slightly unhinged. Former Phoenix mayor Skip Rimsza likes to call the anti-McCain conservatives "CAVE" men (Citizens Against Virtually Everything). Magruder wrote me an e-mail touting his conservative credentials and support of tough border enforcement and insisting that "the hard-line crowd is irrational. They want to incite people to fear, and that is a dangerous thing to watch." Says ASU's Berman: "These guys are not easy to please. These guys were even after [conservative icon Barry] Goldwater for a while. They wanted to strip his name...
