...Perhaps the collection's only prominent failure resides in not capturing the band's raw performing power. Still, this is an essential for the Led Zeppelin novice--although if you've already got the boxed set, don't bother. The CD-ROM video of a "Communication Breakdown" performance is a nice touch, but not worth the price of admission. It deserves an A, but only if you haven't got the other albums already...
...like to swallow pills? Don't worry--most herbs are now available in many forms, including tinctures (concentrated extract drops that can be added to beverages), tea or in its raw, root form.

Talk to the software engineers, the ones who have been wading knee-deep in the raw computer code for some time now, and you'll find they are hardly planning to head for the hills. "I have no stockpile of water at home and no generator," says Microsoft's Y2K director Don Jones, "and I have a nine-month-old son. My wife says, 'Shouldn't we at least do a little something?'" Only as much as you'd prepare...
