...says Cohen. "Reasonable minds differ because of the complexity of the issues, and the result is a lot of indecision and contradictory outcomes." Certainty, however, is what the tobacco industry has always sought: initially by successfully squelching or winning every smoking lawsuit for decades, and lately by trying to strike a nationwide deal that included strict limits on lawsuits.

The names Piccard and Jones may not strike the same chords as Columbus or Magellan or Lindbergh or Armstrong. Indeed, last weekend's achievement is literally lighter than air.

Unfortunately, the site's obnoxious registration form requires personal data, such as year of birth and zip code, before letting you send a card. For photo-realistic images, nothing tops the selection at Corbis.com which lets visitors turn any of its thousands of high-resolution art and nature images into digital postcards. The one catch: www.corbis.com prominently appears on each...
