...Dutchman led for 62 of the race's 200 laps and took the lead for the final time when he drove past teammate Scott Goodyear on the first turn of a restart on lap 194. As is nearly always the case at the Brickyard, the race ended on a bit of controversy. A yellow caution light, indicating no passing, came on after Tony Stewart banged off the fourth turn wall as he tried to catch the two leaders three laps from the end. With one lap to go, the starter waved the green flag that signals...
...industry wisdom is that Digital's aim is to gain an out-of-court settlement that would give it a foothold in Intel's fortunes--either a cross-licensing agreement granting access to Intel innovations for Digital products or a role in the development of Intel's new 64-bit chip, code-named Merced and expected in 1999. "This is a serious issue," Digital's chief technology officer Bill Strecker insisted to TIME. "Our intention is to take this case through to trial."

Tucker's wailing vibrato will annoy some listeners (Brownstein's voice is a bit calmer), but it's an apt vehicle to convey the trio's anarchic passion. Several of the tunes are old-fashioned paeans to rock, including the stomping Words and Guitar. But for Sleater-Kinney, rock is more than keg-party entertainment; it's a way of transforming one's personal...
...author, a Washington Post editor, gets a lot right about reporting, from Truell's woozy bravado to the knowledge that a new owner may stride into the newsroom any morning and start counting paper clips. The ethical dilemma he presents is real too, though a bit overstated. Truell learns that the missing French microbiologist is on loan to China, working unwillingly on a deadly project. He needs to be rescued, and so does the world. His CIA contacts ask if Truell, who's headed for China, will take on the derring...
