Then, at week's end, Apple Computer, a pioneer in personal computers, revealed the extent of its woes. Apple said it will lay off 1,200 of its 5,800 employees and shutter plants in Texas, California and Ireland. The company said it would report a loss for the third quarter of this year...

Yet the mystery is the same. The people of Bangladesh will puzzle over a universe that periodically marks them for annihilation, but perhaps they will puzzle no less than the fellow from Liverpool who, sober, asks simply, "What got into me?" The abiding fear for everyone is that nothing got in that...
