...PlayStation2 is being launched into the most competitive gaming environment ever. Sony is locked in a high-stakes platform war with Microsoft, Sega and Nintendo to lay claim to electronic outposts in living rooms worldwide. Right now the fight is over who will cater to the virtual sniper-attack and dune-buggy needs of legions of young gamers.

He is treated as the messiah by conservatives left in the wilderness since Newt Gingrich was exiled, who have been willing all year long to mute their horror at that inclusive language and mushy bipartisanship. But for the true believers, pragmatism ends on Election Day, when payment...
