...staff members can't, like tending to conservatives on Capitol Hill and resolving disputes between Cabinet Secretaries. If Cheney were to step down, of course, it would throw Bush even further off kilter. Governing without Cheney at his side is a prospect neither he nor his aides want to entertain. Those staff members willing to consider the idea simply call Cheney irreplaceable and leave it at that. Even so, the favorite parlor game among Republicans outside the White House last week--even among Bush friends--was speculation on who might replace Cheney if he were to step down. Colin Powell...
...fool, that is the suddenly ubiquitous MR. T you've spotted in ads for 1-800-COLLECT, Lipton foods and Nick at Nite. "This is my comeback," says T, 48. "I'm here to entertain the people like no one else can. But you have to have a setback in order to have a comeback." T's setback came in 1995, when he was diagnosed with, no kidding, T-cell lymphoma. After initially keeping the disease a secret, the man baptized Lawrence Tureaud decided to confront cancer head on. "I said to myself, 'T, you used to kick...
...what make reality concrete. It is only when the characters speak that truth is exposed. In this way, Berry follows in Fugard's own beliefs about theater and its powers.

They entertain premonitions that the earth will open, and in some ghastly, bracing time reversal, will suck the gaudy Clinton era backward into a grainy trauma of black and white. Unthinkable reversions become possible - mass unemployment, who knows? We have already seen California's power grids shuddering. Will grass sprout through the silicon chips, and all that brilliant information revert to sand, and Gates to Ozymandias? Maybe...
DoCoMo's phenomenal success came in large part because of Enoki's shrewd strategy: make it easy to use, easy to pay for and loaded with gimmicky content to dazzle and entertain Web novices. "The Internet scared Japanese people," says Yukiko Takahashi, a manager at Bandai Networks, a subsidiary of the toy company that gave the world the Tamagotchi virtual pet and created rudimentary games that have been big hits on i-mode. "It made people think about connecting a PC, using a keyboard, modems, ISDN lines, stuff they didn't understand and stuff that cost too much. The smartest...
