...three years at the helm, Armstrong, 62, has tried to shift AT&T into new and more lucrative areas. He moved aggressively into cable, plunking down $115 billion to build the nation's biggest cable network. Armstrong has also pushed into fast-growing areas like wireless and has tried to turn AT&T's WorldNet into a rival of AOL's. The ultimate vision was that Ma Bell would clean up by cross-selling its 80 million customers a bundle of telephone, cable and Internet services...
...Amazon forest sends a dire alarm that needs to be heeded. I have traveled on many occasions in the past 26 years on some of the roads you described. I can't help noticing the increasing roadside devastation from one trip to the next, as an ever expanding network of side roads penetrates deep into the rain forest. The tinderbox effect is already noticeable in many parts of the Rondonia territory in western Brazil and is responsible for large tracts of unproductive and abandoned desert land in the southern part of Brazil's Para state, where it is unlikely that...
American Intelligence Agencies now strongly suspect that the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a Cairo-based extremist group that is part of OSAMA BIN LADEN's loose network, may have carried out the Oct. 12 attack in Yemen on the U.S.S.

...fallout from last week's hack attack on Microsoft just gets more embarrassing for BILL GATES & Co., especially given the part played by the company's software. The unidentified intruders were able to root around inside Microsoft's network for six weeks, steal passwords and sneak looks at the vital source code for future (not current) products, using a Trojan-horse virus called QAZ that's written in a Microsoft programming language (Visual C++). The pilfered passwords were sent to an e-mail address registered in St. Petersburg, Russia, through Hotmail--another Microsoft service. Even worse, Vincent Gullotto, head...
...Food Network's gimmicky Iron Chef era, finding a simple cooking program on the channel is becoming as difficult as finding a video on MTV. For that, this high-profile launch is welcome, even if it's as precious and trendy as a truffle-emulsion foam. British superchef/pretty boy Jamie Oliver isn't actually naked--the title refers to his minimalist recipes--but his artfully disheveled, Prada-model looks probably didn't hamper his TV deal. To be fair, this gravy-boat dreamboat is professional and informative. But his languid preening, the jerky handheld camera and the Brit-pop sound...
