Dahl, an elegant woman accustomed to a rich social life, was at first unnerved by her newfound solitude. She tried to telecommute, exchanging E-mail and collaborating on academic work via the Internet, but her fax and modem overloaded her rural phone line, requiring 20 visits from the repairman before the problem was solved. She and Rice learned that there was no fine dining in the area, and that cooking well for guests meant packing in provisions from Cincinnati or Columbus. When Dahl went to the local grocery and asked for pasta, she was directed to a shelf of boxed...
...next day, Primakov telephoned Albright, who was in New Delhi as part of a tour of South Asia and the Middle East. Iraq was willing to take back the inspectors with no strings attached, the Russian envoy believed, although he refused to fax Albright a copy of the one-page statement he had drafted because Aziz hadn't yet obtained Baghdad's approval of its terms...
...souped-up PC, you'll need an array of space-hogging peripherals like a printer and a scanner. Fortunately, companies like Brother, Canon and Xerox recently unveiled a new and improved class of multifunction printers (starting at $500) that combine the features of a scanner, a copier and a fax machine.

Laying this cable wire would provide students with cable...
That was that. I came home, and the next day I glanced at the fax I had sent to the sponsor. The tone of self-righteousness was a little mortifying. More than a little. When you write a sanctimonious letter, it is hard to keep it under control; there is a tendency to rise to indecent heights of piety. You don't simply argue the facts at hand, you rise in defense of godliness and decency and the First Amendment and oppressed peoples everywhere. Then, six weeks later, a heavy-set woman jabs her finger at you and accuses...
