...what should you buy? The current array of devices--cell phones, PDAs, beepers and more--bewilders even the experts. "Every few months there's a slew of new products that have more features, perform better and are priced lower," marvels Ira Brodsky, an analyst with Datacomm Research. But you've already got plenty of choices. A cell phone is a good bet if most of your wireless connectivity is going to be done by voice. These "smart phones" have the added advantage of being less expensive than a PDA. It's not hard to find a cellular service that will...
...oughtn't be allowed to die in peace. Although the decision has not yet been made public officially, a number of Chilean sources have indicated that Chile's Supreme Court on Tuesday voted 12-10 to lift the former president's immunity from prosecution, opening the way to a slew of prosecutions for kidnapping, torture, murder and other human rights violations during the general's 17-year dictatorship.

"But I'm a really good cartoonist who does journalism." He spent his 20s bouncing around a slew of frustrating writing and copy-editing jobs, including a particularly bad one with a newsletter for the Notary Association. There's not a lot of breaking news in the world of notarizing documents...
...respect was dutifully given to one of pop music's powerhouses, Ahmet Ertegun, co-founder of Atlantic Records in 1947, for whom the "Ertegun Impact Award" was inaugurated. The award was prefaced by Peter Wolf, who, as part of the producer's bio, read off a seemingly unending slew of well-known music acts that have released albums under the Atlantic label (from Aretha Franklin to the Rolling Stones to Kid Rock). Thus the crowd's eruption into madcap applause with Amhet's eventual appearance on stage was entirely appropriate. Ertegun quipped that Boston is the "source of some...
