DIED. TELFORD TAYLOR, 90, formidable Nuremberg prosecutor who held that "the laws of war are not a one-way street"; in New York City. An ardent New Dealer, Taylor joined the war effort in 1942 and worked on Nazi codes. Though at the hub of military intelligence, he learned of the Holocaust only as an assistant prosecutor at the first Nuremberg trial. He was chair of the next 12 trials, and his clarity and eloquence (he called Nazi Germany "an infernal combination of a lunatic asylum and a charnel house") led to 142 convictions. Later, as a lawyer...
...Chaum assumes that these electronic transactions will be traceable--something that's sort of a jump ball in the theory of electronic finance these days. One school of theorists, led by Chaum, argues that electronic cash needs to be "one-way anonymous" so that people transferring money can always see where it goes, while people receiving money won't know where it comes from. This one-way-mirror transfer solves some of the problems of paper money, since it makes it easier to keep track of where money is spent and why. But who really wants to leave "money tracks...
...Northwest, which dominates traffic in Detroit, was not about to let Pro Air grab share. Northwest quickly cut prices and added seats to Pro Air destinations, including Baltimore, Md.; Newark, N.J.; and Indianapolis, Ind.

Before you could say "Put your tray tables in their upright and locked position," Northwest jacked up some Milwaukee seats to more than $200, according...

If sometimes I have to step in the fray, becoming a target of most cruel blows, it is not at all by natural taste, but because someone must finally make up his mind to take a position, dangerous, maybe, but necessary to break the paralyzing fear of others. What else can I do when I feel responsible for half of the population which I have done so much to liberate? Because of my utmost sincerity, I think that if I show some awkwardness, I need...
...technology--graphite tennis racquets, fiber-glass vaulting poles, high-backed ski boots--the change makes everyone queasy. But performance trumps sentiment. The sport of speed skating is at one of those pivotal junctures, with good old tradition being upended by a Dutch contraption called the clap skate. Unlike the conventional skate heel, the heel of the clap skate's boot detaches from the blade like a one-way seesaw. The skater's heel lifts off the blade, lengthening the blade's contact time on the ice, then the blade snaps back to its original position with a noisy "clap...
