Perhaps one day we'll hear songs by the Elvis Costellos of the future about Web radio's glorious triumph over the bad, old radio--if only, somewhere in the mile-long buffet of channels, we can manage...

More Americans are doing advanced planning, with living trusts and durable powers of attorney for health and wealth, to spell out who should take over when they have lost capacity. Many would prefer to have others take charge of their affairs a little at a time as needed, rather than all at once.
