...than we are. By midafternoon on Election Day, journalists receive exit-poll data, diced into a zillion demographic categories on whom people voted for and why. Networks use those figures to call states seconds after the polls close (and hint not so subtly at outcomes earlier in the day); print journalists use it to plan election coverage; we all use it to lord our insiderdom over less-well-connected pals. The monopolistic source of the data is the Voter News Service, an exit-polling and vote-counting consortium of the major TV networks plus the Associated Press. (TIME, like many...
...RECORD Secretaries who take dictation may have gone the way of three-piece suits and two-martini lunches, but Sony's new digital voice-to-print recorder ($300 including software) fills the gap. The MS1 records up to 131 minutes of brilliant ideas. Instead of a cassette, it uses a tiny memory card. Pop it into your PC (with an adapter), and the software transcribes your words into a text file. You can even highlight the transcribed text and listen for errors. They're working on the martinis...
...spirit of everyone in the media, I suppose I will have to mention the presidential elections. As I write this, everything's up for grabs-Florida, New Mexico, blue light specials at the local K-Mart-though it might be settled by the time this goes into print. One thing seems certain, though.

Bush is just the name of a weak British band that wants to sound like it comes from Seattle...
...royal court. He was allowed to take formal portraits but also more casual, intimate pictures of the shah. These unlikely photographs were probably made possible because Nasir al-Din Shah, who reigned from 1848 to 1896, was a patron of photography and encouraged the craft in his country. One print is of a Western barber dying the shah's mustache. Here the European is serving the Easterner in a photograph by a native. It is here that it becomes clear that Sevruguin is more than a simple puppet of Orientalism. The shah looks regal and sophisticated in his Eastern garb...
...Hulsey, whose inveterate curiosity led her to printing almost accidentally some three years ago, the physical, material quality of ink, type and paper and the intimate, time intensive process needed to put them together have proved a source of lasting fascination. Books as ephemera, as cultural phenomena, interest her, as do their status as reproduced and reproducible objects. At the moment, Hulsey is teaching herself to carve woodblocks and is testing out more experimental ground for her printing, eager as she always is to expand into new ideas, skills and projects. With lively enthusiasm, she talks animatedly about her latest...
