...fell in with a group of budding writers that included William Gibson, John Shirley and Greg Bear. The cyberpunks, as they called themselves, were obsessed with all things digital, and in the '80s managed somehow to reverse pop culture's aesthetic field, turning slouching, sullen '60s youth who hated the system and thought technology was evil into slouching, sullen '90s youth who hate the system and think technology will bring it down...

A survey of 3,000 citizens finds that sensationalism, bad reporting and poor grammar have given Americans a declining faith in the credibility of their local newspapers. The American Society of Newspaper Editors study finds that about 80 percent of those surveyed said newspapers print sensational stories simply to sell papers; nearly half of those polled are angry with their local rag for running misleading headlines. And in a finding sure to brighten the job prospects of copy editors everywhere, more than one third said they found a spelling mistake...
