He may be temporarily gone but he's not forgotten: in Business Week,
February 22, 1993 (subscribers got it this weekend), Joan O.C.
Hamilton waxes rhapsodic about the dreadlocked champion of "Virtual
Reality."

	Jaron Lanier coined the term "Virtual Reality."
	He became its chief proselytizer.  But he didn't
	know how to run a company.  And now he's become
	a guru without a portfolio.

A touching story, but one wonders how long the press will kick this
one around before opening its eyes to the positive things happening in
our field.  These press people, for all their protestations, are the
REAL conservatives.
