...paper brings such encouraging news about inflation or crime or unemployment that I almost expect to see the headline GOOD PEOPLE REWARDED; EVIL ONES TO SUFFER. The worry monger in me finds no satisfaction in the international pages either. The democracy kudzu spreads relentlessly, and while there are troubles, none compares with the risk of imminent global incineration. Then: the Cuban missile crisis. Now: the Caribbean summit. After so carefully developing the habit of pessimism, is it any wonder I feel bereft...
...more or less. Yet so far, most of the wealth and fame emanating from the Web have gone to people other than him.

Berners-Lee has graced the cover of none, and he drives a 13-year-old Volkswagen Rabbit.

As long as he does that, they'll keep coming to him for answers...
...Jones joined Warner in 1933 for $18.50 a six-day week. But until DreamWorks entered the picture, creators of even the most boffo animated films got no royalties. George Lucas made zillions from the Star Wars rerelease; the three directors of the 1961 One Hundred and One Dalmatians got none of the hundreds of millions it made in reissues and on video...
