...Danbury-based Bristol Technology Inc. opened its own suit against the Redmond giant, claiming that Gates & Co. put the Seattle screws to their software business by withholding vital information when Bristol licensed MS's Windows NT system. "Now it's official -- all of Microsoft's browsers are now under legal assault," says TIME technology correspondent Chris Taylor. "But NT, because it's the core of the soon-to-be-shipped Windows 2000, is really the one that has the most bearing on the PC world...
...have swirled around the Suhartos for decades. On Friday, protesters demanding the former President be put on trial clashed with police. Attorney General Andi Muhammad Ghalib, who oversees an official inquiry into the family's wealth that has been creeping along inconclusively, told reporters, "I will set up a legal team to ask for confirmation from TIME."

"He trusts himself creatively," says Steven Bochco, Kelley's mentor when he worked as a writer for L.A. Law. "He has pure talent, he has craft, and he has clearly found a way to tap into his imagination that doesn't take...
...worse, an institutional drug culture has sprung up in the hallways of All-American High, mimicking the one already established among depressed adults. As was pointed out in the May issue of Harper's magazine, the line between illicit, feel-good drugs such as marijuana and amphetamines and legal mood-altering substances such as Luvox, Wellbutrin, and Effexor is a blurry one. Many of the same optimistic claims--enhanced concentration, decreased anxiety, a renewed capacity for feeling pleasure--are made for both types of magic bullet, whether they are bought on the street or in a pharmacy. A profoundly mixed...
