Morris had a profound influence on the printing industry with his brilliant graphic contrast of ink with page and his elegantly designed type.

 Robert Morris Sentencing, May 1990
This particular Friday, only two are scheduled; besides Morris, there's a contractor who underpaid his employees on a Federal construction project (sitting in the pew behind me, the contractor's lawyer says to his client: "Don't worry, these people aren't all here for you.").

If all the editorial-writers who have been yelling for Morris' blood had seen it, they would have been appalled: this was the opportunity for a fire-and-brimstone speech about national security and billions in damages.

 WDVL: Toss out your Tables! CSS is the scene!
Accessibility: When you look at a well laid out page, it's obvious which part is the main content area, and which is mere sidebar material.
But to an unconventional Web client such as a text-to-speech converter or a Braille reader, the intended layout may be far from obvious, especially if the client has to pick through layers of nested tables to get to the content.
This affects not only disabled people, but an increasing number of people who surf the Web using non-computer devices (phones, PDAs, car systems, simultaneous translator wrist watches, etc.).
