Being from Kansas City carries with it a distinct heritage. I have a Kansas driver's license, but I was born in Missouri. I cross the state line at least five times a day. And although in a couple weeks I will move from Prairie Village to Overland Park, there is really no noticeable difference, they are simply two names contained within the large, sprawling suburb of Johnson County, Kansas...
...White House knocked the wind out of any further protests in Miami or on Capitol Hill. And the fact that Congress could relax the embargo the same week that Elian looks set to go home may be a sign that the boy has helped shift U.S. attitudes to Cuba, although hardly in the way intended by his Miami relatives...

That technology is already built into major Web browsers, and this fall Sony will market a device that enables users to sign documents with a thumbprint. Although the bill is a big win for e-commerce, some consumer groups have expressed concern about the potential for online fraud. For good or for ill, President Clinton is expected to sign the bill (presumably the old-fashioned way); it could go into effect as early...
