...checking e-mail and placing buy orders on Intel while we lie on the beach--or drive down California's busy Route 101. And with a new generation of smart cellular phones and sophisticated wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs) flooding the stores this summer, each offering a dazzling array of new services, the wireless revolution has finally arrived. In this revolution, blood won't be running in the streets (if we keep our eyes on the road!), but applications like instant messaging and e-trades will...
...what should you buy? The current array of devices--cell phones, PDAs, beepers and more--bewilders even the experts. "Every few months there's a slew of new products that have more features, perform better and are priced lower," marvels Ira Brodsky, an analyst with Datacomm Research. But you've already got plenty of choices. A cell phone is a good bet if most of your wireless connectivity is going to be done by voice. These "smart phones" have the added advantage of being less expensive than a PDA. It's not hard to find a cellular service that will...
...problem with all this rhetoric: it's not true. That's the finding of a TIME investigation based on interviews with those directly involved in the system--judges, lawyers, trustees, bankruptcy professors and the bankrupt themselves--along with an examination of court records across the country and an array of statistical evidence.

...sculptor of the surface, not of substance. It avoids linear meaning and sculptural formalism, displaying instead a fetishistic obsession with surface textures, transparency, translucency and reflection in works like "Three Clouds" (cubes patterned with cloud images), "Phono Records" (four LPs made of different materials) and, most impressively, his huge array of objects cast in a high-sheen chrome. The series of metallic West African votive dolls are craftily placed together in the penultimate room of the exhibition space, mimicking an ethnographic collection...
...government's mandated crash test procedure in the past decade. This clamor is unlikely to die down any time in the near future; transportation officials have also locked horns with consumer advocates who argue that the government's crash scenarios need to cover not only a wider array of passenger sizes, but a variety of speeds, passenger positions and angles of impact. So while Friday's modification will please many DOT critics, it certainly won't placate all of them - a long-standing pattern that beleaguered transportation officials have undoubtedly learned to live with...
