Sure, there are other benefits, such as being able to share printers, scanners, fax machines and zip drives, and to be able to swap files instantly. But Net access, particularly high-speed access, say industry analysts, will be what really drives consumer demand. New York research firm Jupiter Communications predicts that one-fifth of American homes will have a digital subscriber line, cable modem and other high-speed pipe by 2002. You can bet that everyone in those homes--whether they like to play games, shop, chat, or trade stocks online--will want to share the big bandwidth...

NBA security officials are sent to every team's practice facilities to prevent management from talking directly to players before Jan. 18, the first official practice day. The Bulls' war room, a large conference space with six phones and a fax machine overlooking the practice court, is empty. From his house, outside Chicago, Krause calls Pippen's agent, Kyle Rote--because he's not yet allowed to talk to Pippen directly and also because Pippen despises Krause and hardly speaks to him. Krause then makes cursory calls to express interest...
