...beam" programs and other data to any other Palm user within sight, the hardware for synching the device with your computer is more downscale. Instead of a handy "cradle" that attaches to your PC or Macintosh--so you can just drop the thing in--the m100 comes with a serial cable. It does the job, of course, allowing you to back up your m100 to your computer, download programs and Web pages and all the rest. But it's not as elegant. Also, while the m100's black-and-white screen is crisp and readable, it is somewhat smaller than...
...stars. In a monumental failure of symbolism, Hillary Clinton was introduced to the strains of "New York, New York," an anthem of carpetbagging - a song about leaving your real home to move to New York and become "king of the hill, top of the heap" overnight. Finally, serial convention filibusterer Bill was introduced by a greatest-hits film in which, evidently, he was elected president, comforted the nation after the Oklahoma City bombing, was reelected, and achieved world peace.

As costs mounted, Sterk called a town meeting to drum up support for the inquiry.

If true, this would make him the most prolific serial killer to strike this region in a decade, and authorities say they are not done searching for bodies...
Just as President Bill Clinton launches a final effort to convince Congress that China deserves permanent normal trade status, there are still plenty of critics who see the communist goliath variously as a strategic threat to the U.S., a vast sweatshop economy swallowing up American jobs and a serial abuser of human rights. Even free-trading multinational corporations experience enormous frustrations trying to do business in China. Countless joint ventures have soured on disagreements between the partners, contract violations and unrealistic expectations of quick profits. A survey last year by management consultants AT Kearney found that 60% of all foreign...
