Pity the poor copier. long the undisputed king of office equipment, the mighty Xerox machine has of late become more like an adding machine, an ancient workhorse being shunted aside by smaller, cheaper and better gadgets--in the case of Xerox, a sexy array of PCs, printers and scanners. For any office drone who has ever cursed a paper misfeed or the dreaded ADD TONER warning, the end of the copier's reign is welcome. But it has put Xerox, the $19 billion-a-year imaging pioneer, in quite...

Like AT&T, with its shrinking long-distance business, and any number of one-technology companies before it, Xerox is caught in what business gurus call a paradigm shift.

Last year Xerox fired 40 employees for what it deemed inappropriate use of the Internet, and the New York Times axed 23 workers for sending what were considered to be obscene e-mails on company computers. "We are on the verge of creating a surveillance society in the workplace," says American Civil Liberties Union associate director Barry Steinhardt. Monitoring advocates reply that the threat...

...interesting thing about all this acting out was that to any stranger watching the Bush children grow up, W. still looks like an awfully faithful son, a much more faithful Xerox of his father than Jeb, who after all went to the University of Texas, not Yale, then married his Mexican wife, Columba, and settled in Florida rather than back home. W. followed his father step for step. "He is always anxious to please his father," one of the President's oldest and closest counselors said a few years ago, "and he has done it by emulation. He went...
