There are other benefits to going digital, however. The same study showed that because radiologists could adjust the images, they needed fewer retakes, sparing women the discomfort (and extra radiation) of a repeat mammogram. Also, digital systems upgrade more easily to accommodate future innovations, such as software filters that will allow doctors to "subtract" out healthy tissue and show only tiny tumors. "There are a lot of exciting possibilities down the road," says Dr. Etta Pisano of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who will be heading up a large study comparing analog and digital mammography later this...
...crazy like reading novels, making love or helping the kids with their homework. By and large, they're watching dramas or reality shows instead. But having strong sitcoms is still important to networks. Comedies rate far better than other shows in reruns--Is anybody really interested in catching a repeat of The Mole?--and sell more easily to syndication. Which may explain why some programmers and sitcom producers are resorting to a desperation move, somewhere between getting Vince McMahon to start a new football league and formally declaring bankruptcy: innovation. Rejecting the conventional pacing and look of sitcoms, trusting viewers...
...cautious development process. "Networks give writers development deals and then interfere with development," says Larry David, co-creator of Seinfeld, who last fall debuted the discomfitingly funny, semi-improvisational Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO. "Ultimately, anything not in their formula scares them." That formula--set-up, joke, canned laughter, repeat--might as well be encoded...
...decision Bush has made. The cut is now estimated to cost at least $2 trillion once interest losses are factored in, and the costs may soar if, as Bush has proposed, the cuts are made retroactive. The nation simply cannot afford a tax cut of this size; it would repeat the worst fiscal mistakes of the Reagan years, mistakes which led to two decades of deficits. The tax cut is also unnecessary, as it would be near-useless in fighting a short-term recession. And judging from the experience of this past decade, the longest period of peacetime prosperity...
...they had the new cars and a brand-new $2.4 billion network TV contract, and the last thing NASCAR officials wanted at their showcase event was a repeat of the boring 2000 Daytona, which featured only nine lead changes and a walkaway win by Jarrett. Last autumn they experimented at the circuit's other superspeedway course, Talladega, with ways of slowing down the cars to make for bunched, exciting racing. Some of the drivers had come out of Talladega looking ashen--"A little too exciting at times for me," admitted Gordon--but there had been 49 lead changes...
