...confirms much of Kurtz's account, but stresses that the situation was far from clear-cut when agents arrived on the scene. "He had a working microbiology lab in his home. He did not have an art exhibit in his home. We also had a dead body," says Maureen Dempsey, spokesperson for the Buffalo field office of the FBI. "We didn't know what was in there. That's why we had to cordon off the house." The bacteria that Kurtz had in his house had been used in the past to simulate dangerous bacteria for research purposes - which...
Still, I can be persuaded. One day at the Smithsonian, I saw a young couple standing in front of an exhibit. With glasses tripping off his nose and tube socks nipping at his knees, the guy was a geek, explaining the intricacies of an esoteric display.

How many companies roared along for decades, minting money, only to see the Internet eat their business plans? We live in a media age and the media industry is Exhibit A in the murder trial. Newspapers, magazines, music, television, movies - all of the traditional models are dead or dying as bloodied moguls everywhere scramble to survive.
