...could provide a startling measure of the extent to which arguably the most influential artist in the history of rock has been forgotten or misunderstood by younger generations. Alternatively, it could serve to revitalize images of the young, revolutionary King in the minds of a generation which has been fed little more than regurgitated clichés. Either way, it will speak volumes about the power of the media controlling the image of a man whose music deserves to be remembered, irrespective of the commercial hype it has generated...
...successful as the pigeon program has proved, it's soon to be phased out in favor of e-mail. Carrier pigeons "have no place in this advanced age," sniffs K.M.

Officials say only those names for which there is more specific identifying information are being fed into the NCIC and the U.S. Customs Service's Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS), which is run at border crossing points. A greater number of names, including aliases, partial names and sound-alike names are being put into the Department of State's TIPOFF system, used to check foreigners seeking visas.
