...wouldn't be too sure. I suspect that the young of the world grasp that the man whose poster beckons from their walls cannot be that irrelevant, this secular saint ready to die because he could not tolerate a world where los pobres de la tierra, the displaced and dislocated of history, would be eternally relegated to its vast margins...
...make bowling apparel look sharp. And yet car racing continues to be the hottest, fastest-growing sport in America, generating $2 billion in revenues and drawing gazillions in sponsorship money. In TV ratings, NASCAR racing blows away every major sport but pro football. With California-born Gordon as its poster boy, NASCAR is expanding beyond its Southeastern roots, going after the wine-and-cheese crowd, and even Donald Trump wants to get in on it.

(Since it's available free, no one knows how many copies have actually been passed around.) It's also the poster child of the so-called open-source movement. Unlike Microsoft Windows or the Mac OS, Linux and many of the programs that work with it are built and maintained by volunteers scattered all over the Net. The source code, the usually secret "recipe" that determines how the software works, is published online...
