...people here spend far too long plugged into their computers and not nearly enough time switched on to the world around them. How many students lament that they never get a chance to make the arduous ten minute journey into Boston but spend hours playing Snood, chatting banally on Instant Messenger or searching the Internet for virtual girls when they should out be looking for real dates?

There are also some visual books currently in the works, the most ambitious being New York September 11, a documentation of the tragedy by 11 photographers, featuring an introduction by David Halberstam. A substantial visual product, of course, can be turned out in relatively short time. Even in going about their “quick response...
