...where Phil had to make some phone calls. I organized a Foosball tournament in which the winner would get a half hour with the Cup. Two guys from the art department, Ed Gabel and D.W. Pine, took me on. Unfortunately, my usual partner was home sick, so I grabbed Max Smith, a designer who has never played before, is losing his eyesight and is really named Ken. While Ed and D.W. were running up and down the halls with the Cup, I realized I hadn't seen Phil in some time. I considered etching my name into...
...first surprise is that Kerry Max Cook escaped the coolly efficient clutches of the Texas death-penalty system. After 20 years behind bars, 13 of them spent on death row on a murder charge, Cook walked free in 1999 bearing horrifying tales of prosecutorial misconduct.

That, says CBS television president Les Moonves, may make it the first TV program to star two Oscar winners. We haven't scoured the history books on that claim, but we gather that this means "The Geena Davis Show" was just Joe Pesci away from being a television classic...
...weak to drive MP3 music files. Sony created a neat hack: it added a digital-signal processing chip that bypasses the operating system. You'll need to shell out $150 more for a 64 MB memory stick, though--the 8 MB stick included with the unit holds three songs max. And if you want a wireless modem, you'll have to wait until the end of the year...
