Home-Friendly Projectors
The projector industry is leaving many of us behind ["Bright Lights, Big Pictures," April]. Remember those 35mm Kodak-style projectors with a carousel of slides and a screen set up in the living room? Where is the new-age portable projector that can be used standing alone, with a remote and a slot for a CD-R/RW or DVD so you can flash the pictures on the old living room screen? This would make life better for many home users.

Moving On
"There's an old joke in which a couple married 75 years visits a divorce attorney, who asks why they waited so long. The reply, 'We wanted to wait until the children were dead.'" (Quoted by Jeffrey Zaslow, Wall St. Journal, June 17, 2003, pg D1)

David Brinkley
This eminent reporter, anchor man and host of a widely acclaimed TV Sunday morning news hour died today in Houston, Texas. Mr. Brinkley inspired confidence and trust in his readers and listeners and is one of a very small group of news personalities who will be missed.

Break out the Advil
Forget about Bush, Israel and Palestine. We Americans have serious stuff on our plates: Sosa caught with a corked bat, Martha Stewart indicted and Barry Manilow broke his nose. Where is the Advil?

North Korean nukes
A six man congressional team, including Rep. Joe Wilson, (R-SC), had talks last week with North Korean leaders who discussed their intention to increase their nuclear weapons program. I hope one of the Congressmen, perhaps Mr. Wilson, had the presence of mind to inform the North Korean leaders that the first nuclear weapon they fire on America will be the last one fired by North Korea for at least a thousand years.
