...studios of 18 Doughty Street, Britain's latest political-news network, are located in a venerable town house in a part of London that was built on the spoils of empire and that, for more than a century, has been the capital's center of jurisprudence.

Three Harvard students have developed a new social networking site, Vostu.com, that they say will fill a void left by online communities in which English is the lingua franca. The Spanish-language interface, publicly launched at the end of February, is intended to help connect the Latin American community, according to founders Joshua Kushner ’08, Daniel E.
