There was never any question about what Chad Keith would do when he grew up. As a child, "he collected every G.I. Joe on the market," says his grandfather Charles Northrop. Keith's interest in the military was not hard to fathom: at least six close relatives had served.

When I see Cingular’s commercial for their new 5,300-minute plan, my head starts swimming. I struggle to fathom how I could fill up nearly ninety hours with pithy utterances, with or without a cell phone...
