...means I get to wear a coat. This love isn't about fashion or warmth. It's about carrying capacity. As it is now, I spend summers looking as if I suffer from a gross deformity of the thighs, my mobile phone an unsightly lump in one trouser pocket and my personal digital assistant a suspicious bulge in the other. But another, svelter option may be coming, as efforts by electronics companies to cross-pollinate phones and digital organizers finally make headway. Coming to Asia are multifunction mobiles that are small, stylish and, best of all, they run the Palm...

...some improvements to baseball, just don't impose a salary cap. For even in the absence of any substantive solutions, you should never underestimate the power of owners' greed as a restraint on limitless spending. As rich as the Yankees are, George Steinbrenner will forever be more inclined to pocket some profits before he spends everything he has on player payroll. Don't believe me? Why, then, did Georgie Porgie not go after Manny this winter? If New York wanted him, he was theirs for the taking. And it's not as if the Yankees couldn't afford both...
