...Still, I found two sites that stood out above the crowd: mrswap.com and webswap.com WebSwap has waived all transaction fees, at least for now, making it the best deal on the Net. MrSwap, on the other hand, adds a small premium on mailing charges that averages around $1.50 per item...
...loved MrSwap--even though it deals only in music, video games and movies--because it's so simple. To list things for trade, all you do is type in the name of the item and assign a number of "swap points" indicating how much you think it's worth.

"Flash," as they started calling him, was a 16-year-old French Jew whose father taught painting at my high school. Though Daniel concealed being a Jew, he was boisterous about being the best ballon chasseur player and about having persuaded May Qudsi to let him peek...
...There's also good stuff off to the side, including a nice item about Al Gore's ongoing cries for attention, the latest example being his decision to set Aug. 8 as his running-mate date. Irony, anyone? "Gore campaign spokesman Chris Lehane said the Democratic presidential candidate was determined to conduct the process 'in a businesslike and discreet fashion.' Still, the disclosure of the date was an attempt by the Gore campaign to build some suspense for Gore's choice as the GOP prepares to seize the spotlight with its national convention...
