Haden first caught Jones on recordings, playing behind Parker. Haden had worked up a keen ear for all kinds of music from early on. His parents were country musicians who appeared at the Grand Ole Opry and started their boy performing at age four. Some Sundays in Springfield, Missouri, Haden's mother would take him on outings to the African-American church. "We would quietly go in the door after everybody and sit in the back and listen to the music," he says. "That was one of the most moving experiences of my young life...
...links that bind users to Microsoft software run deep-down to the level of "plumbing" invisible to the user but of critical importance to the programmer. For example, Microsoft has for several years been using a tool called ole (for object linking and embedding) that makes it easier for users to move information from one Windows application to another-to shuttle an expense report from a spreadsheet to a word-processing document, for example.

...this book doing so well? Ole Vind, who teaches philosophy at a Danish high school, believes more and more people are seeking the answers to life's mystery in what he calls "the real thing" rather than in astrology or pseudo-religion. On both sides of the Atlantic, the book is being used as a text in college philosophy courses. And despite the author's disdain for New Age spirituality, Thomas Hallock, marketing director of Farrar, Straus & Giroux, suggests that Sophie's World appeals to the kind of reader who made Jonathan Livingston Seagull a touchy-feely...
