With under 10 minutes remaining in the third period and the Huskies reeling following sophomore Jennifer Raimondi’s tally five minutes earlier, Sifers planted herself in front of the goal and waited to clean up Gunn’s mess. Ruggiero fired a shot on goal that hit off the netminder’s chest pad and fell squarely behind Sifers to Gunn’s right. Spinning round, she one-timed the puck while still in motion to ripple the mesh...

We laugh at the narrow ties and clipped hair of postwar IBM and Ford Motor Co. whiz kids, and lionize instead the untidy entrepreneurialism of high-tech geeks like the young Bill Gates.

It can fire off letters warning Internet service providers about misbehaving users, but its main weapon is the decoy file, which it dispatched by the tens of thousands. Downloaders spent hours pulling down the bait, only to find a mess of ones and zeros. Bored wannabe pirates added to the mass distraction, posting bogus files to get attention and create havoc. The week before the film's release, TIME staffers found online Samurais that turned out to be Scary Movie 3, Santa Clause 2 and a porn flick...
