...most popular browser, into an unrecoverable crash--and added grist to the Microsoft-wants-to-rule-the-world mill. Instead of seeing Slate's snappy commentary on politics and culture (excerpts of which also appear in TIME), Netscape 1.0 viewers were treated to a page of gibberish followed by a shutdown. Was the snafu a sign of incompetence, or was it, as conspiracy buffs asked, a glimpse of a Microsoft plan to destroy Netscape...
...thought the Collins trial would distract me. Random House was maintaining it shouldn't have to pay Collins the $1.2 million advance for her novel because her manuscript was subliterate gibberish. Her lawyer, who implied that Random House's real problem with Collins was that her celebrity had faded since they'd signed her up, could have summed up his case with one question: "You were expecting maybe The Brothers Karamazov...

For A Frolic of His Own (Poseidon Press; 586 pages; $25), Gaddis practically rebuilds the Tower of Babel from the sounds and furies of the late 20th century. Drunken soliloquies, air-brained chatter and large, heavy blocks of legal gibberish are piled atop one another. One character is haunted by the thought that "reality may not exist at all except in the words in which it presents itself" -- which would mean that there's lots of it, and it doesn't always fit together...
