A Day Without Email Is Like ...
October 11, 2007; Page D1
When U.S. Cellular's chief operating officer, Jay Ellison, imposed a
"no email Friday" rule at his company, he thought it would ease
workers' overload.
Instead, he got a rebellion. Among many irate responses, Kathy Volpi, a
marketing director, confronted Mr. Ellison and "just ripped me," he
says. "She really gave me a piece of her mind."

E-Mail Is Easy to Write (and to Misread)
By DANIEL GOLEMAN
AS I was in the final throes of getting my most recent book into print,
an employee at the publishing company sent me an e-mail message that
stopped me in my tracks.
I had met her just once, at a meeting. We were having an e-mail
exchange about some crucial detail involving publishing rights, which I
thought was being worked out well. Then she wrote: “It’s difficult to
have this conversation by e-mail. I sound strident and you sound
exasperated.”

The Photo Detective
Does the shoebox in the attic hold family secrets? Alexandra Alter on
how one expert unlocks the past.
By ALEXANDRA ALTER
October 12, 2007; Page W1
Maureen Taylor has dated a photograph to 1913 by studying the size and
shape of a Lion touring car's headlamps. Armed with her collection of
19th-century fashion magazines, she can pinpoint the brief period when
Victorian women wore their bangs in tight curls rather than swept back.
Using a technique borrowed from the CIA, she identified a photo of
Jesse James by examining the shape of his right ear.
