...cannot see fast enough to pick out the details of a pass thrown in a football game. The mind cannot recover a childhood birthday beyond an impressionistic blur. In our technological age, what would we do without instant replay?

...Holdings was itself formed by the merger of Denon and Marantz, two struggling, mid-to-upper market Japanese audio firms, with an investment by the private-equity group Ripplewood Holdings.

All his actions replay on a giant screen. One image shows a woman walking by. The man is lurking behind a wall. “Ummm nice!” he says. “But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart,” states the Biblical...
