...culture teeming with Oprah, couples counselors and John Gray seminars, all telling us that love is about hard work and accepting one another's differences, Ephron refreshingly stands out as the nation's foremost advocate of mind-meld. For her, it seems, true love exists when there is a complete compatibility of intellect and tastes, the shared belief, say, that Brooks Robinson was the best third baseman ever. Intimacy isn't something built; it is something found when just the right attractive someone enters your universe, cyber or otherwise. "What's really better," says Ephron, "than two brains falling...

We catch sight of one preening on a high branch. Its head has a flattened crest that looks like a fan from the side, with an eye at bottom center. It makes its nest on the sides of rocks...
...when it comes to jobs, the bad news may outweigh the good. Challenger, Gray and Christmas, a Chicago-based outplacement firm, estimates that 1998 may set the decade's record for layoffs. It reported that U.S. firms eliminated 574,629 jobs this year--32% more than in 1997 and within reach of the 1993 high of 615,185.
