...early as 1990, when I routinely and unapologetically phoned the plumber from work. Now, as workplace tools like beepers, pagers and e-mail make an inevitable incursion into your life, you can harness their usefulness in the home too. If you keep a calendar for work on your Palm, cannibalize the idea to create a master family calendar to keep track of soccer games and piano lessons. Give colleagues and teachers a single e-mail address, and use one pager to field queries from office and offspring...
...preserved for study. I see the guys from R.E.M. in one plastic partitioned area, giving an interview to who knows whom. Beyond the cubicle area is a grid filled with weight-lifting equipment and another grid filled with stationary exercise bikes; there are also about a dozen (seemingly) fake palm trees and a few "Survivor"-esque thatched roof huts where bartenders are serving mixed drinks.

Barak said he was willing to accept the plan "as a basis for discussion" if Arafat was. Arafat's response would have made a Palm Beach County lawyer proud: a long letter delivered to the White House on Wednesday with 26 questions, clarifications and objections he wanted answered first. It was a stall, and an irritated Clinton had no intention of answering. "There's no point in our talking further unless both sides agree to accept the parameters that...
