The Germans agreed that once the new model is in place, Bertelsmann's subsidiary BMG Entertainment will make its music catalog available and drop out of the copyright-infringement lawsuit that Napster has been fighting for nine months. Even before the deal was announced, Middelhoff began working the phones to persuade his counterparts at Time Warner, Sony, Universal and EMI to do the same...
Will car buyers love this throwback to the '50s as much as they do the New Beetle and the PT Cruiser?

Most of that he sold off some years ago in the mental and physical housecleaning that accompanied his decision to stop drinking. Then he went to lunch in France, somebody showed him some prints...
...surprising omissions. The grid city of 19th century Barcelona, designed from the ground up as an ideal townscape by the socialist engineer Ildefons Cerda, is the biggest example of would-be Utopian town design that ever got built--but neither it nor its inventor rates a mention in the catalog...
