Such lawlessness can get groups noticed, of course, but it can also leave them marginalized. Even Jeremy Rifkin, president of the antibiotech Foundation on Economic Trends and no stranger to street theater, agrees that when it comes to protesting, less can be more. "If you go too far," he says, "nobody pays attention." On the other hand, it's hard to argue with results. In December the biotech giant Novartis announced that it was washing its hands of agritech. And last week delegates at the Montreal conference agreed to require labeling of all genetically modified goods...
...child was chatting the other day--the one who likes to wear a bra and panties. The whole thing was my fault, and I feel just sick about it. Not that anything truly bad happened, at least not to my 10-year-old. I suspect that the male stranger who likes to wear women's underthings suffered the most in this particular virtual encounter...
...resident tutor in art history and theology in Kirkland House, Egyptian pharaohs used to write over their predecessors' cartouches. Perhaps in response, in more modern times National Geographic magazine digitally moved a pyramid so the picture would fit on its front cover.

When a program presents itself as fact...
...onstage at their New York City press conference and concluded that this was a collision: the 60-year-old, scholarly and reserved titan with the 41-year-old embodiment of everything Net. But though they have different manners and tastes (Levin loves Camus's The Stranger; Case, Toffler's Third Wave), there is a marked similarity. Levin helped create the American cable industry, Case the nation's mass online connection. Each has survived failure. Last week their story looked new, but each man will tell you it's also as old as the history of technology. Geek meets geek. Geeks...
...Castro steps down and calls free elections in return for a lifting of the U.S. embargo. Erstwhile communists and right-wing Cuban exiles in Miami form opposing political parties, hoping to manipulate the populace to their own ends. But out of the mountain villages, a mysterious stranger suddenly appears, bearing an eerie resemblance to the legendary revolutionary who was assassinated in 1967. His message: Cubans can reclaim power over their own lives in a "radical democracy" without pollsters, socialists or corporate capitalists. As the movement grows, the evil forces dispatch assassins to kill its prophet...
