...statement of what Monica's testimony would be on all elements of the offenses they said were under investigation. We can't say what it says--that's privileged--but they took notes, and they were satisfied. They were very pleased. Thanks, they said. Now we need you to consent to a search of Monica and Marcia's apartment at the Watergate building. This was after midnight. We consented, and the search was set for 10 a.m. the next day. Next morning, 10 a.m., no FBI. Eleven a.m., no FBI. Finally at 12, I called. They said, Oh, we forgot...
...days ahead, Tripp may ponder her own legal culpability. The New York Times reports that Starr granted her immunity, but some of her recordings--those made in Maryland, which requires both parties to consent to taping--may violate state laws beyond Starr's purview.

This in turn produced Microsoft's infamously petulant response: offering to sell versions of Windows that didn't have Explorer but didn't work either. After showing in court that it took less than 90 seconds...
...wrote the "Fact and Rumor" column, and the managing editor was responsible for everything else. Thus, although the managing editor did the lion's share of the work, setting up the paper and making assignments, it was the president who guided the paper's policies, subject to the general consent of the executive board. Henry James, class of 1899 and a former president of The Crimson, wrote this description of a typical day at the paper in the December, 1899, Harvard Graduates' Magazine...
