...have a single device combining in one small, supersmart package the qualities of a PDA, cell phone and pager--allowing you to schedule, e-mail, call, beep and surf without missing a beep. That could happen, but don't count on it. Skeptics say the result would be neither fish nor fowl--awkward as a PDA and awkward as a phone. For now, it's probably best to choose a device based on what your primary need is. (After all, you still have a separate telephone, TV and VCR at home.) If you want voice, get a phone...
...boat cruising down the Mississippi River toward New Orleans. I was able to read and answer my editor's e-mail on my laptop (thanks to a wireless modem) and answer questions by cell phone. The work got done, but I missed a pretty good fish fry. --With reporting by David S. Jackson/Los Angeles and Anita Hamilton and Unmesh Kher/New York...
...network cut the screen time for Mapplethorpe's haunting, sexually explicit photos. If only it had shown them longer--for 90 minutes, say--and ditched the rest of this mechanical, insultingly didactic placard.

...FRANKENFOOD MONITORS Not sure what's for dinner? With a little genetic tinkering, fast-growing fish and freeze-resistant fruits will help feed an overpopulated planet, but such hybrids could unwittingly wipe out the food chain. Eco-scouts will be on the lookout for so-called Trojan gene effects, and bounty hunters will help the USDA eliminate transgenic species that get out of hand...
...physical demands, Hanks says, aren't a big deal. This from a man who's chomped raw fish for the camera, was laid low for three weeks during last year's sweltering shoot on nearby Monuriki by an infected blister and then, over the year's hiatus, had to drop 55 to 60 lbs. (and grow a ZZ Top beard) and return for this rough, wet work. "People pay to do this stuff on vacation," says Hanks, 43, who earned his sea legs as a surfer...
