...With so much build-up, it's funny to finally sit down with the product and realize that, at best, it is what it's supposed to be: a glorified DVD player. Don't get me wrong - even if you have high-definition cable or satellite TV service, it's exciting to pop in a good movie and see how much clearer it is than a standard-definition DVD.

Styles change but insecurity remains constant? we are willing to believe we're wearing the wrong bra size because, surely, something must be wrong...
...viewpoint column on the Enron verdicts by the company's whistle-blower, Sherron Watkins [June 5]. I agree with her argument that humility is a basic ingredient of a spiritual life. No matter how often he invokes Scripture, Enron's founder, Ken Lay, will never learn that stealing is wrong until he finds some of that elusive characteristic. But there is hope: some people learn that valuable lesson in prison. Gary Roe Santa Cruz, California...
