...have never seen her smile so much, and there were times when it was hard not to break into a grin to match hers. The harsh flashbulbs seemed far away. In fact, ABC built a special set for the Walters interview, with lighting that mimicked a golden, late-afternoon glow. A British magazine ran a photo of Lewinsky knitting, another of her puttering in the kitchen. She lounges on a bed decorated with roses (an image reinforced by Andrew Morton's book, whose very first revelation is that "this girl likes roses a lot"). The publicity encourages...

Here's a scene that should warm the heart of any executive in the video-game industry. It's a muggy Manhattan morning late last June. Liam McLaughlin, 23, a full-time games bootlegger, opens the door of his Bleecker Street co-op to find three armed U.S. marshals dressed in SWAT gear, and four suits from the Interactive Digital Software Association, a sort of Pinkerton agency for games manufacturers.

Sounding like a member of a previous generation who collected Pez dispensers, he explains, "You can relive...
...third season, which kicked off in late January, Roadshow (Mondays, 8 p.m. E.T.) has become the top-rated weekly program on public television, overtaking Barney and such staples as This Old House and Nova. A knock-off of a long-running British show, it's being propelled by a booming interest in collectibles and Americana, from Beanie Babies to 18th century furniture, and the growth of the Internet, where surfers flock to online auction sites such as eBay and Auction Universe. In a nation full of junk keepers, Roadshow is sending its 10 million viewers rummaging through their attics...
