...woman took my blood pressure, placing my left hand on her lovely shoulder, which drove my blood pressure up--and democracy was evident everywhere. Muslim women in elegant gray chadors sat whispering in the same waiting room with stolid farmers and their wives, geezers and geezerettes next to minor Pooh-bahs and nabobs yakking on cell phones. Snatches of French and German drifted by, and Japanese, and Minnesotan ("So you think it's going to be a long time then? Or no?").

After years of pooh-poohing the dangers (and happily pocketing checks from Nokia and Motorola), the government has finally gotten nervous enough to sponsor a study in which cell phone users' brains will be carefully monitored (although not while they're driving). Nothing is clear at this point; cell phones could be perfectly safe, or they could...
