...Next I tried Callwave, a "free" service that--big surprise--isn't. Like all the other software-only services, it requires you to sign up for a little-known option provided by most local phone companies called call forward on busy. This means that if your phone is busy, an incoming call is automatically forwarded to another number--for $1 to $3 a month, plus a one-time activation fee.

She was there to introduce the first night of Suzanne Farrell Stages the Masters of 20th Century Ballet, a 10-city road show that opened in Washington last month and closes next week in New York City. At 54, Farrell still looks perfectly capable of donning tutu and toe shoes and filling in for any of the women in her 16-member company. But she doesn't need to, and that's the point. Her versions of such classics as George Balanchine...
Your articles on what awaits us in the next century were incredible and full of useful information [SPECIAL REPORT, Nov. 8]. Although we may live longer, resist baldness, cure innumerable diseases, grow and transplant brains, choose to be obese, eat less meat, reduce waste and not need to have sex to have babies, let's not forget to play. Play is essential for maintaining well-being. This will be especially true if we live longer and healthier lives. We'll need to lighten up and not be self-congratulatory in old age.
