...sneaking into the WTC. But the tightrope walk is a letdown; the conspirator who had a movie camera up there on the roof forgot to turn it on. So the big climax - man on very high wire (or should we say dead man walking?) - is pretty thin stuff. This visual paucity reinforces the feeling that we're not looking at, say, Paul Valery's nephew up there on the wire. Petit is not making any kind of "statement." He's in the not entirely dishonorable tradition of the guys who have been going over Niagara Falls in barrels these many...
...Sharing" at the conference referred to the new features that Facebook unveiled this week for its redesigned user profile pages, which now make it even easier for me to broadcast the stuff I like. "News feeds" (a Facebook term I've always found vaguely offensive, since it trivializes actual news) are now simpler to manage.

The headphones collapse and fit into a neat, football-sized carrying case. Monster, known for its high-end cables, gives you one standard cable...
...Doctor'' for the Ph.D. in operations research that he earned at Johns Hopkins. ''Malone has three priorities in life,'' says Bill Daniels, an investment banker who specializes in cable-TV properties. ''His family, his business and his sailboat. That's it.'' Malone's brilliance and belligerence have become the stuff of legend. In 1991, for example, Malone was outbid by a rival in his attempt to acquire the Learning Channel. His response: TCI began dropping the Learning Channel from its local cable systems. The tactic killed his rival's deal, and TCI's 49%- owned Discovery Channel later purchased...
