...Lose a Guy in 10 Days for 100 rupees (about $1.75) even while it's playing in first-run theaters in the U.S. Karachi boasts five optical-disc factories, just one of which churns out 40 million pirated discs a year. If you think American teenagers are guiltless, file-swapping punks, try talking to a Karachi shopkeeper. "We make copy of everything!" says Mohammed Haris. "Even George Bush cannot dare to come over here. We will keep the original and send his copy back home...
BACK TO THE BOOKS There are those who read for pleasure, and then there are those who read when Oprah Winfrey tells them to. The latter group has had it easy since the talk-show host disbanded her book club last year, but the guiltless hours spent watching TV or picking up a book only in order to drop it on a cockroach are over.

Who did not get a kick out of seeing Bono--Irish to his boots--unveil that Stars and Stripes jacket at the Super Bowl? Who doubted that when Paul McCartney sang of the "fight for the right to live in freedom," he was sincerely thanking those doing the fighting on our behalf...
...Osama bin Laden had really thought it out, he'd have realized that the World Trade Center wasn't the center of capitalism. Sure, it stood tall in Manhattan's financial district, but Wall Street is a buttoned-up version of capitalism. The real stuff--the guiltless consumption, the pride of acquisition, the gluttony of a food court at noon--is taking place at the mall...
