Indeed, before the G.O.P. House members start imagining how history will treat their sprint through the first 100 days of the 104th Congress, they had better get some rest. For it will be the next 100 days and the 100 after those that will determine the real measure of their success at turning America toward a new course. "We are going to get to a balanced budget in seven years," Gingrich told TIME last week.

Meanwhile, a number of the Baby Bell phone companies have turned to Hollywood. Ameritech, Bell South and Southwestern Bell (now SBC Communications) are teaming up with the Walt Disney Co. to develop and distribute movies...
...gets stranger. In order to send Quittner that mail bomb -- the electronic equivalent of dumping a truckload of garbage on a neighbor's front lawn -- someone, operating by remote control, had broken into computers at IBM, Sprint and a small Internet service provider called the Pipeline, seized command of the machines at the supervisory -- or "root" -- level, and installed a program that fired off E-mail messages every few seconds. Adding intrigue to insult, the message turned out to be a manifesto that railed against "capitalist pig" corporations and accused those companies of turning the Internet into an "overflowing cesspool...
