With almost every imaginable law enforcement agency -? including the Postal Inspection Service ?- on his trail, Buford O. Furrow Jr. slipped the massive L.A. dragnet ... in a taxicab. And then he turned himself in to the Las Vegas FBI, bright and early on Wednesday morning. And a motive?

...attention to the noise, Carleton (Carly) Fiorina was saying last week, as she was crashing through the highest of glass ceilings to become the CEO of computer maker Hewlett-Packard. Although her appointment has not been so ballyhooed as Sandra Day O'Connor's becoming the first woman Supreme Court Justice or Geraldine Ferraro's running for Vice President--or, for that matter, America's women winning the soccer World Cup--it is arguably more important than any of those milestones. If women have made great strides in gaining parity in politics and sports, it is in the workplace that...
