...other side of this megadeal. The only flaw in this picture, frankly, is a fist-size interactive pager that is dancing between Levin's palm and his pocket. The pager chirps from time to time, and Levin pops it from its slate-gray plastic case, uses a thumbwheel to scroll through a few messages and then slips it back into its case. Occasionally, he pokes out a quick message on the device's Chiclet-size keys. Chirp. Pop. Click-click-click. It's almost a Macarena rhythm. 1-2-3-4-5. Lou Gerstner, the CEO of IBM, sends Levin...

A force-feedback engine lets you feel realistic rumbling in games like Activision's Heavy Gear II. It also provides slight resistance as you scroll over onscreen buttons, making clicking easier. So long as your boss doesn't catch...
...representation of early Chinese bronzes (most notably a series of three ritual bells from the late Chou dynasty). Also particularly strong are the ancient Greek vases, with exquisite exa.m.ples of both red-figure and black-figure techniques. Not to be missed: the beautifully preserved and delicately painted Japanese hand-scroll depicting "The Tale of the Rat." Currently on display: "Letters in Gold: Ottoman Calligraphy from the Sakip Sabanci Museum, Istanbul," a richly presented selection from the most highly esteemed of all Islamic artforms. A must...
