...very important feature: a floppy-disk drive. That could be a problem for those needing a simple way to move files between computers. Several vendors have come to the rescue: Imation of Oakdale, Minn., is offering its high-capacity SuperDisk drive in matching colors for $189 (below), while Newer Technology of Wichita, Kans., will sell a standard floppy drive for $90 in October...
...were nearly naked. Nipples were one of the biggest accessories, and definitely the least expensive. The mad lads from Britain--Alexander McQueen for Givenchy, far left, and John Galliano for Christian Dior, middle left--were up to their usual high jinks, but they were usurped in wackiness by even newer kids with scissors--Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, middle right. The Dutch duo, whose label is known as Viktor & Rolf, got to thinking about the millennium and showed an apocalyptic-appropriate silhouette shaped like a mushroom cloud. Moreover, they put the show together on a shoestring budget--so '90s! There...
...breakup of the Grateful Dead left a void in the lives of many fans that other, newer bands playing in the Dead tradition, like Blues Traveler, Phish and the Dave Matthews Band, have been unable to fill completely.

There are other good reasons to install Windows 98, which Crosby lays out on my website this week, at time.com I was especially looking forward to the operating system's support for the so-called Universal Serial Bus--a thin socket that comes on most newer computers and allows you to plug in a variety of peripherals (scanners, mice, etc.) with fewer hassles. Microsoft lent me a new eyeball-size digital camera to try out the feature. Alas, my computer failed to recognize, let alone run, the USB device. I suppose that will get fixed in Windows...
Cancer research--today's media hysteria over newer technologies notwithstanding--has always made strides in a slow and deliberate manner. Oncologists worldwide attend yearly meetings to listen to, digest, scrutinize, modify and summarize a universe of scientific and clinical data. No two oncologists walk away from these meetings with exactly the same opinion. Clinical trials that last only several years must further mature before long-lasting conclusions are crystallized. I'm not against enthusiasm, but science always advances without cheerleaders and circus ringmasters. Our patients deserve better. ANTHONY F.
