...product of months of gathering frustration, Rowley's memo--a full copy of which was obtained by TIME--unspools in furious detail how, in the weeks leading up to the hijackings, officials at FBI headquarters systematically dismissed and undermined requests from Rowley's Minneapolis field office for permission to obtain a warrant to wiretap and search the computer and belongings of Zacarias Moussaoui, the French-Moroccan operative arrested in Minnesota last August and facing trial this fall as the sole person charged with conspiring in the attacks. Rowley asserts that the FBI didn't "do much" to share information about...

And Bush Administration officials have privately said they are furious with New York officials.

Associates, including Inoue, claim Ogami still hides a personal net worth of at least $5 million, but the company's known assets?including real estate and Ogami's fleet of cars?have been seized. All that's left at G.O. Group's Tokyo headquarters is a mountain of discarded telephones stacked...
...market has been seeded with dozens of copy-protected CDs, often without the consumer's knowledge. Most, like Natalie Imbruglia's White Lilies Island, on Bertelsmann's BMG, were released in Europe, but in the U.S., if you bought a copy of Universal Music's More Fast and Furious, the second volume of the sound track from the movie, or Enter the Life of Suella by an artist named Pretty Willie, then congratulations!--you're a copy-protection guinea pig. Critics of copy protection say its side effects are potentially disastrous: the discs may not work...
