...doors as part of a settlement until it can launch a service that meets industry approval. MGM v. Grokster was handed down on June 27 and substantially shook up our understanding of what is and isn’t legal in the world of internet file swapping. A brief history lesson is in order:Surely everyone at Harvard is old enough to remember the days of the VHS cassette, those big clunky pieces of plastic filled with magnetic tape which had to be rewound before they could be returned to Blockbuster. It turns out 1984, the year most current seniors...
...still feeling it out.” Harvard scraped out a 1-1 tie with host Brown (3-4-1, 2-1-1) on Saturday after a quick exchange of goals in the final period broke a lengthy scoreless lull.HARVARD 1, BROWN 1For all but a brief minute-and-a-half long span in the third period, Brown and Harvard found themselves locked in a defensive duel.

In the 1980s, ?You could see their eyes shining,? says Andrei Lankov, who lived in Pyongyang in 1984-85. ?People are maybe not learning the truth but (they...
...still suffered persecution, according to evangelical groups. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sat in the front row of the church this past Palm Sunday, and drew applause from the congregants. The church, closed during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and reopened in 1980, also drew a brief visit in 1998 from then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. It often draws overflow crowds, some of whom have to settle for a closed-circuit TV relay of the service in a separate hall...
