The Extinction of Man Omid Rahmat Tom's Hardware Guide\Smokezine Editorial 10-01-99 http://www5.tomshardware.com/smoke/99q4/991001/index.html Introduction Mankind, I mean men, are in danger of losing all that's good, and holy to them. The culprit isn't the other sex, but the chinless wonders of the new economy, and their dreams of interactive television. Women need not read further. No offense, but it's a guy thing.

GORE, BRADLEY TRADE BARBS IN UNION APPEAL New York Times News Service October 03, 1999 http://chicagotribune.com/textversion/article/0,1492,SAV-9910030397,00.html The debates Vice President Al Gore and former Sen. Bill Bradley are promising began in a virtual way Friday as each candidate pleaded with an important labor union for support and directly criticized his opponent. In his strongest words to date, Gore cast Bradley's brief flirtation with an independent presidential candidacy in 1996 as disloyalty to the Democratic Party.

Still an underdog, former Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J., is emerging as a real threat to Vice President Al Gore — as evidenced by increasing willingness on the part of Gore aides to bad-mouth Bradley.

The notion that making sure their favorite TV programs stay on the air should be a top priority is not only absurd, it's obscene. So, ...
