...individuals, corporations, governments) aren't comfortable with a 100% free flow of data. Just last week Google was slammed for a software feature that results in the company's storing users' personal data for up to a month. At times like these, Google keeps that mantra handy--Don't be evil, don't be evil, don't be evil--as a reminder to try to do the right thing in a complex world. Which means turning down $80 million windfalls from time to time. Or telling U.S. prosecutors, as Google did last month, that it won't hand over data...
...Harvard coach Frank Sullivan about his All-Ivy twin towers Matt Stehle and Brian Cusworth, and the praise seems endless. Right up until Sullivan recites the Ivy mantra.

The project's chief selling point is said to be a revolutionary capability to search as well as translate audio and video sources. But details are scarce: Thomson...
...between Coretta's regal suffering and King's pursuits elsewhere. Rutherford could only guess about what he called a "double life," marveling at burdens King must carry beyond the superhuman pressures and expectations of the movement. King's formidable armor wore down in midlife, draining assurance from his glib mantra as a young scholar that many great men of religion had been obsessed with sex--St. Augustine, St. Paul, Martin Luther, Kierkegaard, Tillich--and his self-reproach spilled over when Coretta underwent surgery for an abdominal tumor on Jan. 24. He disclosed to her the one mistress who meant most...
