New Atlantis Cover 2004 Summer
Our Cell Phones, Ourselves
By Christine Rosen
Posted: Sunday, September 5, 2004


ARTICLE
The New Atlantis, Number 6, Summer 2004, pp. 26-45.  

From status symbol to social nuisance, the cell phone now shapes our personal identities and public behavior. We are always "connected" -- on the subway, in the checkout line, and even on the Great Wall of China -- but we are increasingly untethered from the world around us. Christine Rosen explores the state of conversation and community in the wireless age.

Liberating the Limerick

God's plan made a hopeful beginning
But man spoiled his chances by sinning
We trust that the story
Will end in God's glory
But at present, the other side's winning
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes

In his new book Liberating the Limerick, EPPC Senior Scholar (and founding President) Ernest W. Lefever collects, and organizes by theme, 230 limericks that "reflect facets of truth and virtue wrapped in the garments of irony and caricature." Click here to read more.
