...baby steps in the boot prints of the old. Many of the cyber-knickknacks on our Tech 10 Best are binary clones of old friends. PayPal is the next Western Union; the Nikon Coolpix 900 is the spawn of the Brownie. Nike will customize your sneakers, just the way your "artistic" aunt did for your eighth birthday. And Napster: free access to worlds of music! It used to be called radio...
...STEPHEN BREYER APPOINTED BY Bill Clinton (1994) A cautious jurist who usually votes with court liberals - except on criminal cases - Breyer is a pragmatist.

Either way, Barak clearly knows he has a better chance against any Likud candidate other than Netanyahu. Sharon certainly has higher negatives against his name than Netanyahu - no mean feat in light of the fact that the former prime minister is widely loathed even in his own party, after leading Likud...
