...Millionaire isn't exactly College Bowl. (Sample question: Where did Monica buy her blue dress?) Perhaps because of this, the 13-episode ABC program is enthralling viewers, but occasionally it dismays geography fans. On a show last week, host Regis Philbin asked which of the Great Lakes, excluding Superior, has the largest area. Contestant David Honea suggested Lake Huron. Philbin's TelePrompTer suggested Lake Michigan, and the voluble host sent Honea packing. After the show, Honea politely asked producers to double-check. Guess who was right? ABC has invited Honea back for the show's final broadcast to continue...
...even though Russian forces have recaptured the villages held by the insurgents, their victory was anything but total. "The rebels had left the villages before the Russians actually recaptured them," says Meier. "In fact, Russian forces spent two days shelling empty villages. The rebels retreated in the face of superior firepower, but they haven?t gone far; this is not over."

For items worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, online auction sites like eBay or Amazon.com are a great place to sell. For more valuable items, sports auctioneers, such as Leland's, Mastro and Superior Sports, are worth...
...matter least. "No website," says Jobs, "knows whether it's a Mac or Windows on the other end of the line." In fact, for the home user who spends most of his computer time reading e-mail and browsing the Web, the plug-and-surf iMac is clearly a superior product--a fact vividly evidenced by the rise of Apple's consumer market share from 5% to a startling 12% in less than a year. In a little-noted but surely deliberate statement of purpose, Jobs devoted the bulk of last week's keynote to two Web initiatives: QuickTime...
