...dangerous. The magic moments I treasure most are when his throaty hesitations are melted in a murmur of tenderness--the defensive and rigid store clerk of The Shop Around the Corner confessing his love for Margaret Sullavan, the small-time banker whispering "Mary" over and over while Donna Reed is on the telephone with another...
Microsoft no doubt hopes to galvanize others into investing. FCC chairman Reed Hundt believes the deal will prompt the cable industry and then the phone companies to up their investment in interactivity. "For the past year and a half the cable industry has been trying to explain to everybody what they have and how valuable it is," says Hundt.

The message: to thine own self be true. "The last shred of the non-partisan fig leaf has been destroyed," says TIME's Laurence Barrett. "Both of these guys are even more partisan, and more explicitly so, than Reed." Putting Reed's torch in such hands suggests the coalition is ready to concentrate on its natural constituency -- white, Protestant, conservative...
