...Sharpton. Sharpton, says the announcer, admires Hitler (flash to photo of the dictator) and defends rapists and cop killers (video of Willie Horton-style mug shots). The ad asks, "Mr. Gore...what kind of unholy alliance will you have with Al Sharpton?" Another ad, sponsored by a mysterious outfit called Aretino Industries, tells us that the Clinton-Gore Administration has traded national security for campaign contributions and that China has "the ability to threaten our homes with long-range nuclear warheads." The video shows a girl plucking petals from a daisy, a takeoff on the infamous 1964 "Daisy" ad that...
Does the pro-life camp think the decision to have an abortion is made with the concern and brevity of choosing an outfit for work? What woman would not feel the effects for the rest of her life?

Still, if the Nobel rules allowed posthumous awards, Kilby would almost certainly be sharing his prize with someone else. For not long after Kilby's productive summer, Robert Noyce, another inventive young Midwesterner, began toying with similar ideas at an upstart outfit called Fairchild Semiconductor.

...Cornell University's William Sims visited two high-tech start-ups as part of his work for the International Workplace Studies Program, a group that researches innovative workplace strategies. One company was the 75-person software-design division of a larger firm; the other was a smaller Web-design outfit. Each had or was planning an ever so hip open-office design for its new digs near the university in Ithaca, N.Y. Sims heard the same struggle unfolding in each: the top manager was committed to the cool look that identified the outfit as a successful new-economy type...
...that the rock album is a rarity in today's pop-obsessed culture: one band-name registration outfit on the internet reports more than five million separate entries from around the world, many of which are bands that have already succumbed to the lure of producing an album. Record stores grow amoebae-like as new releases sell alongside re-releases, old releases, indie releases, foreign releases, repackaged releases and digitally remastered re-releases. And yet the desire remains: can a rock'n'roll album be made that differs from, challenges and stands up to the innumerable LPs that have come...
