...qualified guy for the job, at least on paper. In an interview this week, he said his biggest hurdle in the next eight months was "convincing the American people that I've got the right judgment to be President, convincing the American people that I'm a sound decision maker." And yet he is just as confident that he is right for the presidency--that he is someone who possesses the mystical capacity to set a clear agenda and persuade others to follow it. It is in this respect that Bush most sees himself to be like Ronald Reagan...
...didn't need to clip coupons to get a deal on Tide last week--or Pampers or Crest or Ivory. In fact, shares of Procter & Gamble, the maker of these top-selling household products, were marked down 30% in one breathless Tuesday morning on Wall Street...

Next to them, Ghost Dog (Forest Whitaker) is both modern and ageless. His cyber-age artillery and acute aim make him the ideal hit man. Between gigs he plays hip-hop CDs in whatever car he has stolen...
...images. The really cool stuff, though, is on the way; I figure most of the 5,000 Palm applications out there will be colorized faster than you can say Gone With the Windows. Think of all the kinds of programs that color will make possible. For example, Rand McNally, maker of StreetFinder, promises a new version that will work in conjunction with a snap-on GPS device and show you, in brilliant color, your precise coordinates...
