...wonder whether the writer of "In Defense of the Microsoft Monopoly" can see how his arguments apply to the Microsoft situation (Opinion, Nov. 17). First, his claim that the Sherman Anti-Trust Act targets monopolies which rely on market power rather than market merit is amusing. I would like to ask: Does Microsoft truly possess a monopoly because its products are far and away the top in their field, or is it instead because of the chance licensing of the DOS operating system by IBM for the PC, which led to a massive install base for Windows...
This view has given birth to a framework of legally binding agreements, including nearly universal participation in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Of course, neither law nor world opinion can compel nations to act against their own best interests. But most countries find it in their interests to operate within the law and be perceived as doing...
When Jim Augustine '01, as Herod, takes to the stage for "Herod's Song" during the second act of Jesus Christ Superstar, audience members look and listen. Emerging from the mostly overwhelming and often confusing action of the first act, "Herod's Song" is the most engaging musical number to demonstrate that there may be hope for this production.

Jacques lu Cont, lead singer, producer, writer and overall head honcho of Les Rythmes Digitales, has certainly thought about what it takes for a live dance act to succeed--tricky ground for so many artists before him.

It seems to have worked somewhat: LRD recently claimed the honor of being the first act to ever play live at New York's legendary Twilo club. But before that, their...
...well champions Bond's character in the face of the hoopla; his sardonic smirking and other unruffled debonair mannerisms are spot on, plus, he looks astoundingly good in dinner-wear. Sophie Marceau is quite passable as the requisite mysteriously alluring Bond conquest, and although Denise Richards really can't act, she's rather easy on the eyes. There are atrocious puns galore, some of which are kind of funny, some of which I wish I could unhear. John Cleese puts in a far-too-brief appearance as R, Q's new assistant, which is a real breath of fresh...
