...upset by the crass comments about Madonna in your item on her kissing Britney Spears at the MTV Video Music Awards [PEOPLE, Sept. 8]. You said, "You can make two uninteresting women a lot more interesting by having them give each other an open-mouthed kiss." Not only is Madonna today's most interesting American woman, but she is also the only relevant U.S. artist in years. Her last album, American Life, was great.

And hot breakfast, the start to a healthy day, has become a thing of the past...

The Chinese are more pragmatic. Shanghai and 44 other cities already use an RFID payment system for public transportation. In Singapore's library system, all 9 million books, videos and DVDs are embedded with antitheft chips, allowing self-checkout. "With bar codes, you need to precisely align...
