...falling real wages. He is willing to take on the corporate-political elite, including the media and your magazine, and those who have benefited from economic policies that are ruining the country. The information revolution is destroying jobs just like the Industrial Revolution did. Combine this phenomenon with the glut of labor and you get lower real wages. The only way to reverse this trend is to create more jobs by reducing the standard work week. Shrinking the work week from 40 hours or more to 30 hours would help solve the employment problem caused by the information revolution. JAMES...
...most part, the increased competition, the need to stand out in an electronic glut, has kept producers from complacently cranking out the kind of wan, homogenized fare that characterized TV seasons past--and can still be enjoyed on Nick at Nite if one is so inclined.

Those who have been inside the Simpson courtroom note how lawyers have learned to turn their back to the camera when exchanging jokes and smirks. And though joking persists even after Judge...
...mail postings carry the same legal risks as print or broadcast information. But the law in cyberspace is still being written. In most ways, however, reporters are finding online reporting not all that different from the old-fashioned kind. Many are even heartened by the belief that the growing glut of information in the digital age will make their job of sifting, analyzing and editing the news even more valuable. Says Bill Mitchell, electronic publishing director of the San Jose Mercury News: ``There has been no technological development that will threaten a careful, enterprising and accurate reporter.''
