Another proposal comes from Journalism Online, a pay-for-news company whose founders include Steven Brill, the former editor of Content, and L. Gordon Crovitz, a former publisher of the Wall Street Journal. The company's proposal would provide an outlet for news from many providers, but would allow them to decide which parts of their content should go behind a pay wall and how much to charge. Unlike Google, however, Journalism Online's platform remains in development. Another proposal from MyWire's Global News Service, owned by Louis Borders (the founder of Borders Books), would also organize content from...

President Obama and his allies expressed grave concern last week about the site after revelations of its existence, and they made the demand for its inspection a key benchmark...
Iran appears to have demonstrated sufficient flexibility to allow for a new negotiating process to get under way, although that process could be circuitous and frustrating. Iran had consistently warned before the talks that it was not willing to negotiate over its nuclear "rights," that is, the development of the full nuclear fuel cycle for energy purposes. The U.S. and its European allies have sought to persuade Iran to renounce the right to enrich uranium, because that capacity could be converted to create weapons materiel. And Washington has demanded that Iran abide by U.N. Security Council resolutions ordering...
