...nicknames. On TV they make cult joining look easy: show up and chant a little, and some guy gives you a uniform and feeds you porridge. But my experiences have proved otherwise. After wading through three-quarters of the multiple-choice admission test for one cult in L.A., a monitor caught me copying off the guy sitting next to me and threw me out. I was the only person rejected from a cult on the ground of laziness...
...Edward's Oprah-meets-Orpheus sessions. They meddle, like the counsel-giving mothers on Providence and Soul Food. They have one primary job: thinking about us. In the best seller Life on the Other Side by TV psychic Sylvia Browne (a talk-show and pay-per-view fixture), spirits monitor the living from an afterworld where there are no clocks, it's always 78[degrees] and clear, and there are flawless versions of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal.

Employers are free to monitor an employee's use of their networks so long as they don't violate labor and antidiscrimination laws--by targeting union organizers, for example, or minorities. Existing constitutional, statutory and common-law doctrines have not been interpreted to cover employee monitoring. Some union contracts limit an employer's ability to monitor during downtime like lunch hours, but they typically don't bar monitoring altogether. And while federal law prohibits wiretapping and the monitoring...
