Networking is one of those rare words that sounds sinister no matter which way I look at it. It refers to the tedious process of linking uncooperative computers together. Worse, it describes the superficial routine of introducing yourself to others long enough to ask for their business cards. Shallow and a bit awkward? Surebut wildly popular nonetheless.

Americans' greed is pitiful. People who speculate on housing while others remain homeless are shallow in the extreme. Tearing down perfectly good houses to build huge, gaudy mansions is wasteful, immoral and counterproductive.

None of this prevented Homer's contemporaries from seeing such works as unvarnished and in some ways disagreeable truth. "Barbarously simple," thought Henry James. "He has chosen the least pictorial features of the least pictorial range of scenery and civilization...
