...aware and, more important, still aware of us.) Women's nonmortal distress also got its share of attention, in two novels--The Nanny Diaries and I Don't Know How She Does It--that comically examined mothering anxiety (at least among affluent, educated white women), even as Sylvia Ann Hewlett was warning young women, in Creating a Life: Professional Women and the Quest for Children, that they had better get married pronto if they ever wanted to have children.

...sterling reputation to--gulp!--WorldCom? The place is a disaster: home to at least $9 billion in accounting fraud, $120 billion in vaporized shareholder wealth and the largest bankruptcy in history.

Dozens of companies around the world already pump out mounds of the stuff--affectionately called soot--and sell it to some of the world's largest companies and labs for research: IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung and NEC. Nano-Lab, in Brighton, Mass., is one of the few nanotech companies turning a profit. It sold $200,000 worth of made-to-order nanotubes in 2001 and is on track to more than double that amount this year. Last week HP researchers unveiled a way of manufacturing molecular-scale circuitry that will...
