...this sounds familiar, that's because Microsoft's WebTV has been offering a similar service for more than three years. So far, however, only a disappointing 1 million people have signed up for it. I didn't have to use the WebTV Plus service for very long last week to see the shortcomings: set-up instructions are confusing; surfing the Web without a mouse is a drag; and if you only have one phone line in the house, you can't take phone calls when you're online. Unlike AOLTV, WebTV doesn't let you instant-message friends while watching...
...report on ecstasy was disappointing and potentially misleading. Ecstasy use is extremely risky for anyone's health. Ecstasy (or MDMA) can produce significant increases in heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature. Because its stimulant effects enable users to dance for extended periods, it can also lead to dehydration, hypertension and heart or kidney failure. Ecstasy use can also lead to long-lasting damage to critical serotonin-containing brain cells. You missed an important educational opportunity. Your article erred heavily on the side of glorifying a substance that experts agree is dangerous, particularly to those involved in the club drug...

So on July 15, Daley will give up his elegant office across from the White House with its Teddy Roosevelt portrait, massive fireplace in use much of the year and staff of 30,000 watching everything from the weather to the census, all for a cubicle in Nashville to shore up a shaky campaign...
...daughters in Chicago on weekends. Unlike some others in the Administration, Daley likes to throw on a tux and socialize with the Washington establishment. A colleague recalls Daley's sunny disposition failing him only once, when a G.O.P. House member suggested that the Census shouldn't be allowed to use a sampling technique because creating phantom people ran in the Daley family, a reference to the charge that as mayor, William's father raided Chicago's cemeteries for J.F.K. votes in 1960. Daley usually gets along with the opposing party. Rich Williamson, the Illinois G.O.P. chair, says his former...
