...going to suggest that television networks are going to learn any permanent lessons from one of their own mistakes, but I'm beginning to worry that the Florida flip-flop means that they're going to spend next rest of the evening behaving - ick - responsibly. No skylarking, no premature calls, no leaps of prognostication: just patient waiting and discussion. After the exit polls burned them once, we may have to wait until Dan Rather counts the last absentee ballot himself until we get a call in the Sunshine State.

As she and Kim entered the 150,000-seat May Day stadium, a sellout crowd of blue-suited Korean Workers' Party members let out a sonorous, sustained roar as if at the flip of a switch. Fireworks exploded overhead, and the Great Leader waved. More than 100,000 performers acted out scenes of socialist glory with translated names like If the Party Decides, So We Do and The General and People Are a Single Mind.

What impresses me most about Damon, though, is his linguistic versatility. After all, not many actors can flip between a Bostonian accent and a Southern drawl with such apparent ease...
...send a voice message or scribble a note directly on its 8-in., touch-sensitive screen using the glowing Plexiglas stylus. A blinking green light alerts you to new e-mail even when Audrey is turned off. To get the news, you simply turn a knob in front to flip through any of nine "channels" featuring customized Web content from sites such as ABCNews, ESPN, Mr. Showbiz and my favorite, AccuWeather.com...
