...PALM TREAT The new Palm i705 ($450) is a step closer to the easy, flexible wireless e-mail access all handheld users crave. Unlike the Palm VII, the i705 checks your e-mail constantly instead of just when you ask, and it alerts you when it arrives.

Because of their volatility, the chemicals would have needed last-minute preparation in Paris, probably with help.

It's no digitalized Supercard, but the states would have uniform standards, using bar codes and biometrics (a unique characteristic, like a palm print) and could cross-check and get information from other law-enforcement agencies. Polls show 70% of Americans support an even more stringent ID. But Japanese-American members of Congress and Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta are keenly sensitive to anything that might single out one nationality. Yet an ID card...
