...highs indicate that good times may be coming. In its last visit to Palmer Stadium on Oct. 25, Harvard posted an historic 24-0 blanking of Princeton. The Crimson also held off a furious Yale rally to win the 113th rendition of The Game...
With the ramparts collapsing around him, Digital CEO Robert Palmer must have seen little choice but all-out attack. The lawsuit claims Intel infringed on 10 Digital patents related to Alpha and other chips--though Palmer doesn't claim this piracy occurred during negotiations between the companies in 1990 and '91.

Wu, who heads a group dedicated to exposing forced-labor in China's prisons, said the products made involuntarily by prisoners included office supplies, sport shirts with Playboy, Esprit and Arnold Palmer labels, auto parts for American cars, and even Christmas tree lights. President Clinton plans to renew China's most-favored-nation trade status, despite continuing allegations of human rights abuses. Under current procedures, U.S. customs officials find it difficult to investigate allegations concerning such prison labor because they must...
