...soon see if life can live up to art. As the millennium rapidly approaches, panic about the Y2K problem is snowballing. Some fear this panic alone could lead to bank runs, hoarding, fires and gun violence. The American Red Cross has already recommended that we stock up on food, water, cash and gas. But even if planes don't crash or the stock market doesn't fizzle, the Y2K problem certainly has the makings of a damn good movie...

An aide to Secretary...
...been inspired by a shipwreck off Bermuda in 1609. The Oxford faction offers tightly argued explanations for the discrepancies, along the lines that the plays are misdated or that the earl had already written the plays (based on alternative sources) and kept them private. According to Dickson, only the panic that Protestant England would revert to Inquisitorial control propelled the earl's heirs, in 1622, to rush a set of plays into print and posterity as the First Folio. That edition, Oxfordians note, was dedicated to two noble kinsmen--one brother married to a daughter of the earl, the other...
