Our New York office has now made contact with the Internet - no thanks to what must have been a dead raccoon in the AOL pipeline (or a vice president hiding from stockholders, whatever.)

Don't forget our Weekend Roundtable and the weekend's Snap Shots - 48 hours of thrills and general jabber await.
