...Spitzer is plainly a noble and lovable human being, and the viewer is struck not only by the senselessness of his death but also by the honor and courage with which he and his colleagues conducted themselves in the face of death. The Munich Olympiad was sandwiched between two bloody wars in which the Jewish state fought for its survival, and its athletes and coaches were clearly part of a nation prepared for war. Confronted by armed men speaking Arabic, they appear to immediately understand the situation and some are even able to quickly make tactical choices - such...
...Castellanos, whose past work includes a race-baiting Jesse Helms advertisement showing white hands ripping up a job rejection letter, has struck an unapologetic stance over the subliminal blip. "We don't play ball that way," he told reporters Monday. "I'm not that clever." Unfortunately for Castellanos, the rest of us aren't that stupid.

BEWARE GEEKS BEARING GIFTS O.K., the Love Bug struck 10 million computers worldwide, but at least your little Palm Pilot is safe, right? No longer. Last week saw the first-ever outbreak of a Trojan horse--a precursor of computer viruses--on PDAs running the popular Palm operating system. Liberty Crack, as the bug is known, masquerades as a game program, but when you install it and run it, it immediately erases all other programs on your Palm. Security experts say this is just the beginning. The smarter our appliances get, the more vulnerable they are to viruses. The next...
