...been among the first to develop, 30 years earlier, the concept of a federal compromise, where both the national government and the state governments could have sovereign powers. And as the Constitutional Convention was about to break down in the hot Philadelphia summer of 1787, he set in motion the process that would break the impasse and, to a large extent, shape the new nation...
...screen, but it's really me in the picture. Thanks to EyeToy, Sony's latest advance on the computer game, anyone can be an action hero. Launched in the U.K. last week and due across Europe this summer, EyeToy is a PlayStation 2 add-on that uses a motion-tracking camera to transfer a player's own image into one of 12 available games - in my case Kung Foo.

Virtual rides like the Grand Theft Auto games (including Vice City) and the Gran Turismo series have sat on best-of lists. They're also helpful aids to directorial research. John Singleton says he played hours of Turismo while preparing 2 Fast 2 Furious. He put the Nissan Skyline (which isn't sold in the U.S. and had to be imported from Japan) and the Mitsubishi Evo VII in the movie because they're in Turismo. "We wanted to get the cars that...
