...allow this kind of process." Not every ISP feels the same. Comcast, the cable-TV company that sells high-speed Internet access on the side, has announced its intention to cooperate with RIAA. So has Chicago's Loyola University. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston University, by contrast, have gone to court to protect students' identities...
...sister share a 48% stake in the company that sells more beer to Germans than anyone else - Holsten, on Germany's north coast. Eisenbeiss believes a modern brewer needs to be big - Holsten already serves up 1 billion liters a year - and international. Sailer and his brother, Dietrich, by contrast, own and operate the small but thriving Hofbräuhaus Traunstein in southern Germany, which brews 10 million liters of beer annually. For centuries, such local breweries have been the backbone of this most German of industries. But Sailer is not optimistic about the future of family-owned breweries. "Some...

Arbeitspause (Break from Work), from 1959, an early painting by the controversial Willi Sitte, typifies the work of a group of artists that emerged in Halle and Berlin and used elements of Cubism...
...denied lawyers and not been charged. In a military tribunal, other protections of the civilian U.S. justice system would be denied them. They would be required to use a U.S. military lawyer, for example, and not allowed to see "secret" evidence. For the Brits, what especially rankles is the contrast between these suspects' treatment and that accorded John Walker Lindh, the "American Taliban" caught in Afghanistan like many Guantanamo inmates but given the full protections of a U.S. court. "Guantanamo is bad enough," says a British official, "but the worst thing is that we fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan...
