...teams’ droughts less than five minutes into the half. Harvard’s answer was another corner shot on goal from junior back Francine Polet, which rang true and put the Crimson ahead, 2-1. Harvard sealed its offensive victory around the 52-minute mark. Freshman forwards Leigh McCoy and Maggie McVeigh executed a give-and-go play, with McVeigh drawing the defense only to pass it off to an open McCoy, who put the shot in for a 3-1 lead. Defense reigned during the final twenty minutes for Harvard, and while New Hampshire was able...
...Drawing from a rich tradition of British cinematic realism, which includes directors like Ken Loach and Mike Leigh, the film has sparked controversy in its native land. England has long prided itself as an island of tolerance and freedom for newcomers, and detractors claim that Meadows' focus on an unpopular war - the film is inter-spliced with Falklands' footage - together with anti-immigrant racism lends undue emphasis to the seamier side of the country's recent past. A Sunday Times review by critic Cosmo Landesman dismissed the film's portrayal of 1980s (predominantly) white-working class as "unconvincing," railing against...

"But once you express an idea, the law says that copyright can protect that expression." But in this case, both courts agreed that the theories Baigent and Leigh are trying so hard to protect are ideas, not expression. So Brown - and anyone else - is free to use them. Upholding last year's ruling, the appeals court said that the law can't be used to "monopolize historical research or knowledge and prevent the legitimate use of historical and biographical material...
...Like the original High Court judge, the appeal court judges noted that the theories weren't all unique to Baigent and Leigh either. Some of the ideas they say Brown copied from them are based on historical facts and hypotheses that they culled from various other sources...
...nightmare for writers who deal with the facts, say Baigent and Leigh. "Today is an ominous one for those who wish to research a book of their own and come up with their own theories," they said in a statement. "It is a carte blanche for those who would rather not bother, but simply take another author's ideas and adapt them." The decision means the Holy Blood authors can't claim massive royalties from Random House (who also published their book) and still have to pay the $6 million legal bill. They can still appeal the appeal...
