"Dearest Britney,
"I was mesmerised by your latest video and, watching it, missed an
appointment at a local shop to sign my new memoir, 'Experience: A Memoir.'
I notice you have a memoir of your own, and, at last count, no fewer than
seven biographers (which is, my dear, more than Nabokov and Bellow
combined). We share a history, you and I, having survived similarly
traumatic childhoods (I having been raised by alcoholic parents, and you
by unfamous ones), and I should like to write a profile of you a loving
portrait, a billet-doux for Tina Brown's Talk. I shall call it 'Spears of
Influence,' for surely I am within yours."

"In an apparent fulfillment of early-internet predictions about
frictionless economies, Patrick Naughton, the former Infoseek executive
and Java star now best known as the New Economy's Humbert Humbert, has
proven that a skillful programmer can even cut a good deal with his
jailors. A story in the San Jose Mercury News details Naughton's efforts
to provide sleuth services to the FBI in exchange for a lighter sentence."
