Offensive as these ads are, should Craigslist be liable for them? A civil rights group thinks so. The Chicago Lawyers' Committee recently sued Craigslist for running ads that allegedly violate the Fair Housing Act, a federal law that bans housing discrimination. "The laws against discrimination don't change because you add technology," says Stephen Libowsky, an attorney for the group. At issue is whether Craigslist is a publisher, subject to the Fair Housing Act, or a content distributor, which may not be liable for discriminatory ads, according to the Communications Decency Act. Housing-advocacy groups say the definition is crucial...
...says one night. He moved some of his auditions out to a nearby landing, and an HRDC staff member yelled at his crew. Ever the pacifist Hanley says of the event, “Hey, I’ll sacrifice getting yelled at for the fact of being fair to the actors themselves.

Every inmate at Guantanamo must receive a fair guilty or innocent decision in a speedy fashion in order for the U.S. to lay claim to a functioning justice system. Bold prosecution of suspected terrorists is desirable, but indefinite detention of, and violent action toward, men innocent before the law is loathsome to the ideal of fairness...
...forefront of future scholarship, scientific and otherwise.In short, Harvard’s future seems secure even if its present is just the opposite. During his resignation speech yesterday, Summers talked about his vision and his initiatives continuing, even if he himself relinquished the helm. That seems like a fair plan, save for one question: Can anyone besides Larry Summers get it done?My guess is yes. A good portion of the Faculty’s grievances are purely personal, not intellectual. Humanities professors may gripe about Harvard’s investment in science, but they gripe more about the power...
