...mutating economy made this deal in some ways inevitable. In AOL, Case had built a brand, a customer base and (by Internet standards) healthy profits. But he faced a future that may see Internet access become a commodity, and he lacked access to the leading source of broadband--the fat, fast pipes of cable television that could carry vast amounts of Internet content. And Case didn't have much in the way of content either. Time Warner's cable-television system, the country's second largest, owned plumbing aplenty to distribute AOL's services.

Now Nicole is deathly pale, skinnier than Calista Flockhart, and there's never a freckle in sight...
...words and music for Cradle in a rush of inspiration, fed up with various forms of prostitution in American life. In Blitzstein's reading of the social climate, virtuous girls were compelled to sell their bodies and young men forced to sweat it out in factories while the fat cats leaned back and watched their money grow. Orson Welles (Angus MacFadyen) directed the musical under the aegis of the Federal Theater Project, a government initiative intended to provide work and keep culture going in rough times. But anything approaching Blitzstein's socialist sentiment wasn't welcome as the Red Scare...
