...surveillance is over, the FBI computer returns to the field office. FBI officials say Carnivore is designed to protect the privacy rights of innocent friends and family members of a suspect. For example, it would zero in on in on Tony Soprano's e-mail orders to his henchmen while filtering out Carmela Soprano's gossip sessions with her sister and Tony Jr.'s visits to a Pokemon chat room. "This is a better minimization than what we do with headphones on a telephone tap," says one official...
...aspect of the show that made it more than a cornpone car chase--two good ole boys "fightin' the system like two modern-day Robin Hoods," as the theme song (which the movie has jettisoned) said.

It is imperative that we neutralize Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and his nationalist henchmen as quickly as possible. Again and again, we have witnessed the pattern of Milosevic's talking peace while readying forces for another assault against innocents. Attempts to negotiate only help the cause of Serb nationalism.

...Oliver's past refuses to remain in that tense. First he finds evidence that his father has finally tracked down his whereabouts and may possibly be seeking vengeance. He then learns from Brock that the Orlovs and Single & Single have had a falling-out. The Russians and their henchmen have murdered a high official of Single & Single and videotaped the act to impress on Tiger their displeasure with him and his firm. The elder Single, in response, has gone into hiding or perhaps into the clutches of the Orlovs...
