Finally, I'd like to make a plug for a rather unusual recording of the Sibelius concerto on the Swedish label Bis by Leonidas Kavakos, Osmo Vinski, and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra. This recording includes both the early 1903-04 version of the work, retracted by the composer, as well as the familiar 1905 revision heard in concert halls today. I can't blame you for being a bit skeptical, but drop by the Loeb Music library and give the attending librarian the accession number CD 7227 and see if you don't like...
...obscene material at all, no matter what the consumer's age. Fearing that the university would be open to prosecution -- and the worst kind of publicity -- CMU's academic council hurriedly voted to shut down those areas of the computer system that carried discussions or depictions of sex.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles County district attorney Gil Garcetti announced that no charges would be brought against Simpson's close friend Al Cowlings, who drove the Ford Bronco during the memorable freeway chase with...
...which last year pulled the plug on one of its most prestigious science projects, the Superconducting Supercollider, often seems to forget the value of funding research. But Asia has not. Japan has been building up its research capabilities for years, and it is being joined by the so-called Tigers of Asia -- Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. They are collectively plowing billions of dollars earned selling cars and computer parts into their technical universities and research institutes. Their goal is an ambitious one: first to catch up in scientific fields pioneered by the West, then to dominate...
