She had a pupil who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge. “Could he help in the library?” sh e asked, I said “Send him along.”Soon a slight, sandy-haired boy in jeans and a T-shirt appeared. I told him about the system used for shelving books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him a stack of cards for lone-overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them. He said: “Is it kind of detective job?” I nodded yes. Later, when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis, it was easy to say yes. He worked untiringly.After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of the evening, his mother said that the family would be moving to another district. Her son’s first concern was leaving the library.When the time came, I said a reluctant goodbye. Though initially he had seemed an ordinary kid, his zeal had set him apart.I missed him but no for long. A few days later he popped through the door and joyfully announced, “The librarian over there doesn’t let boys work in the library. My mother got me transferred back to View Bridge. My dad will drop me off on his way to work. And if he can’t I’ll walk.”I should have had thought such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go. What I could not have guessed, however, was that he would become a wizard of the Information age: Bill Gates, tycoon of Microsoft and America’s richest man.31.

They left what was said to be a software log that included part of a user’s identification number, but it was partially masked “to hide the users who make this possible.”Monday’s attack was the most s erious against a government World Wide Web site since the start of the year and similar in audacity to attacks last year against the Web site for the FBI, Senate,U.S. Army and White House.36.
