...trying to snatch the Democratic nomination from Al Gore. Bradley should have called this the speed-walking tour. The lapsed Senator is really working those long, NBA-tested legs, partly because he feels good--his kickoff speech went well, close to 100 media types are covering him, and the latest polls put him just a few points behind Gore in New Hampshire--and partly because he has only half an hour before sunset, and he wants to lead us to the banks of the Mississippi before then.

...power, but they're not in power," he says. "Delivery of service is now in the hands of the professionals." To help Leakey with the colossal task ahead, Moi has created a kind of shadow ministry by appointing a small team of technocrats as permanent secretaries.

If you can get a better deal on an Athlon, do it. One thing to keep in mind, though, is this: 99% of you who read this column won't see much difference. Chips have become so fast, they outpace most software's requirements. Then again, if speed really matters to you, maybe you need...
...gamble is paying off. "Half-Life" is still at the top of the market after close to a year on the shelves, and Valve's latest project, "Team Fortress 2," is in the final stages in development...
