...even start addressing us by name, as they did in Steven Spielberg's 2002 futuristic film Minority Report. "We're almost there," says Stephen Freitas of the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, an industry trade group. "Outdoor advertising is evolving to a world of two-way advertising very, very fast." Marketers love the interaction with consumers, and it's easy to see why: the results are immediate and measurable. "For the advertiser, it really turns out-of-home into a direct-response mechanism," says Alasdair Scott of Filter in London, the firm that developed BlueCasting, the Bluetooth-based system used...

Faultfinders, notes Allen, claimed that the judging panel had been packed and Escrivá's critics blackballed; they viewed his fast move toward sainthood as the muscle-flexing "ecclesiastical equivalent of [the Roman emperor] Caligula making his horse a senator."

In the TIME poll 46% say Bush is more likely to bring a successful end to the situation in Iraq, while 42% say Kerry would...
...more enjoyable - and memorable. When she grants honors, she studies biographies of each recipient and writes down a few words which an aide reads to her as the person approaches, allowing her to start an informed conversation - one she knows will be repeated to family and friends. (She reads fast and has a flypaper memory.) Dinners during regional trips used to strand her at the top of a long table with predictable dignitaries; now she will be at a round table with perhaps a nurse, the leader of the local Sikh temple and an entrepreneur.
