...been using Bluetooth wireless headsets for about a year. Not only do I love the convenience, but I also think they make it safer to talk on the phone while driving a car. Until recently, the simplest and lightest headset I used was Motorola's HS820, but now a number of even smaller and lighter headsets are hitting the market, from Motorola, Jabra and Plantronics. The Plantronics Discovery 640 is not just a tiny, easy to use headset-it comes with a Lego lover's delight of snap-on accessories...

After all, al-Obaidi is a barber, not a cop or a U.S. hireling, and he wasn't aware that he had any enemies. But in the climate of fanaticism that now prevails in Baghdad, barbers are being singled out by Sunni extremists who say that cutting...
...reader bewildered by essayist Michelle Cottle's "My Roving Barcalounger" [Aug. 1], in which she complains about all the distractions in her new minivan? No one made her get a car with bells and whistles like a DVD player, a satellite radio, a five-CD changer and three cell-phone outlets. Whether, deep down, Cottle wanted all those gadgets or just gave into the snob appeal of the fanciest model, she has only herself to blame for filling her vehicle with so many distractions...
