[Apologies for the delay in publishing this, which got lost in the incoming
flood; meanwhile Epstein's article has moved into the Archives and is to be
found at <http://www.nybooks.com/nyrev/WWWarchdisplay.cgi?20001102004F>.
Comments on the article most welcome. Allow me to register an objection to
the technologically deterministic view of history offered in it, however --
and to ask, why do we need to construct the world in such a simplistic way?
Multiple, mysteriously interrelated phenomena make for a much more
interesting view of things. --WM]

experience a trial run of this commercial online service aimed at
undergraduates. The implications of this service could be considerable.
