...Athlon or Intel's Pentium III: that is the question. All things being equal--components, software and peripherals in the package deal--if you feel you must have the latest, fastest, I'd shop this one strictly by price. Don't worry about brand names. If you can get a better deal on an Athlon, do it. One thing to keep in mind, though, is this: 99% of you who read this column won't see much difference.

He just bit his lip and acknowledged "pain in my marriage." When CBS's Steve Kroft tried to pin Clinton on specifics, he demurred, saying that the American people "got" what he meant. Bush is basically winking...
...left-right thing. We want our liberals to tout government and our conservatives to cheer faith-based solutions with equal confidence that they'll solve social problems, even when we know, in our hearts, each approach has its limits. We like the con. So George Bush is being coy. So what? Join the club...
