I think a legitmate question is, how did the blowgun hunters find this out?

	Bill Clinton's eschewal of 57th street for the fractionally priced Harlem may be one of those things that was meant to happen. The neighborhood is on a tremendous upward swing, with some pockets of it well into the it's-too-late-to-buy-cheap phase ... to the point that it might be a legitimate worry that rising prices may force out those devoted residents who stuck it out and wouldn't give up on the dream of a good quality of life. Students of urban life and transition might spend the next decade or two taking an annual survey of the number of Starbucks above 110th St. Or maybe make that monthly...

				So my point is, since they evidently have the technological skill to land a craft that wasn't even designed to land anywhere onto a tiny, wobbling asteroid, how come they can't get anything to land on Mars? The answer of course being that on the tiny asteroid, nobody's shooting back!!!

		It's easy to overlook that American opera is as disctinctive and diverse a branch of the genre as Italian, German or French. But for my fellow devotees, there is USOperaweb, an e-mag on just that topic. Particularly interesting is the calendar page of performances of American operas.

				Just finished reading A.S. Byatt's new The Biographer's Tale. I raced through the first two-thirds of it and then found it sort of petered out, but not so badly that I didn't finish it. Byatt's intellectually elevated style is more about ideas and character than plot, but it does help to have something propel you through to the next page, and somewhere past the mid-point, I didn't feel like I was going to learn much more about what was going to happen... or, it had become moot, or even inappropriate somehow to wonder. But overall I'm glad I read it, and was engaged by the ideas it presented.

		The Weather Channel's weather.com has redesigned this weekend with a new local page chock full of information, a truly big step from what was there before, a mere rehash of what's shown six times an hour. This is the internet! You get links to hour-by-hour forecasts, historical data, and much more through a series of well-presented links.

Here in Louisiana, the big question about the Clinton pardons is why he didn't offer one to convicted former La. Gov. Edwin Edwards, who is due for prison any day now...

	I should think that, rather than meaning to say that Motorola is "axing workers," the headline of this story means to say that it is axing their jobs.
