The Sniper:
A political criminal?


The man who is killing people in the Washington, D.C. area with his high-powered rifle is in the pathological family of the Unibomber and Timothy McVeigh. You must think of the United States as an organic body, a body politic, which is producing new forms of social pathologies. He is not killing his victims for fun, I don’t think, but because he believes he is being asked to do so by a force that is part of the organic body.

The find was unearthed in the cellar of the property after plumbers came in to repair a pipe and discovered the skeletons under the floor. Specialists say the remains date back to the 1100-1350. One possibility is that they were moved from a cemetery in the 14th or 15th century to make way for a new cathedral.

Real snipers resent D.C. shooter


They look through a cylinder of glass and metal at a distant target, knowing they are about to snuff out a life. They don't brag about their kills over beer, nor do they overly brood about them. They take life only to save other lives. To them, the word "sniper" is a badge of honor and a hallmark of skill. And to them, whoever has been terrorizing the Washington area for the last two weeks is not worthy of the name.

The keyboard that isn't there


The problem with pocket technology, such as PDAs and mobile phones, is that they are too small to incorporate a full keyboard. This leads to alternative, and often clumsy, forms of data input such as hand-writing recognition or typing text messages on a numeric keypad.
