...boys did fine over the next three days. With 90 paid staff members, private contributions that cover 80% of the budget, and 600 volunteers, the nursery gives each child lots of attention. Yoel loved the mashed potatoes. Vicente kept falling off the bed at naptime, keeping his brothers awake. On the third day, Yoel woke from a nap in tears, as if he knew what was going on at home...

...Thanksgiving day--all that's left is tweaking for Mac and Linux versions, and plenty of play testing. Last week the only thing you could hear in Suite 666 was resounding cries of "Dammit, get out of the way!" and "I've picked up the shotgun. I'll cover you!" Carmack, described reverentially by a team member as "an evil genius," is not playing. He's already hard at work on his next project--and no doubt his next million...

Administration and intelligence officials...

As the mother of young children exposed to the Pokemon craze, I read your cover anticipating reinforcement for or at least an explanation of whether my parental decision to limit Pokemon in my household was warranted.

There seems to be a trend in your magazine to advertise upcoming Time Warner movie releases without much newsworthy information. MARY KAY BATTAGLIA Anchorage...

Pokemon cannot possibly rub off negatively on the children who watch the show or movie. On your cover, you questioned, "For many kids it's now an addiction... Is it bad for them?" Pokemon, unlike so many other things, is a positive addiction. I would rather have my child fixated on Pokemon than getting into drugs, alcohol or vandalism. JOSH HAMERMAN Scotch Plains...
