Regaining traction will require what Jobs last week called "a new paradigm." Just what this might consist of, though, is unclear. Build low-cost network computers? Split up into hardware and software siblings? Or just rely on next year's expected release of the post-Mac operating system, Rhapsody, based on Jobs' NeXT technology, which Apple shelled out $424 million for last winter? True believers call Rhapsody the greatest OS ever and Apple's savior (Tim Berners-Lee did invent the Web on it); skeptics call NeXT a marketplace failure and an albatross Apple should have left around Steve Jobs...
...vague and almost ineffably romantic: the royal city of Angkor, slowly abandoned under threat of Thai occupation after 1431 but still the chief symbol of Cambodian identity, one of the largest archaeological sites in the world, with its colonnades and giant water reservoirs; its huge, impassive stone faces split by tree roots; its temple mountains and crumbling pine-cone spires. Spreading over some 150 sq. mi., it has excited dithyrambs from visitors ever since the French started going there in the 19th century.

The two hitched up on the set of Dumb and Dumber in 1994, split up and got back together again just before the nuptials. Alas, the risk didn't pay off. Holly filed for divorce from the spandex-faced comedian on June 25, citing--and this is the shocking part--irreconcilable differences. The split had long been rumored, partly because Holly and the director of her new movie Long Time, Nothing New, Ed Burns, seemed...
...more interesting narration that amounts to a kind of anti-melodrama. The plane falls, townspeople grieve and attend funerals. But enemies are not reconciled, deep perceptions are not arrived at, lovers do not see each other more clearly and dearly. Paul and Anita, a shakily married couple, continue to split after wreckage tears off part of their house. The estranged former husband of Trixie, an old woman, dies in the crash, and she imagines that his ghost visits her; but the hallucination is incidental to what is important in her life: her gradual slide toward senility. Lars, a decent young...
