...intruder's appetite for military data is what eventually did him in. To trick him into staying connected long enough to effect a telephone trace, Stoll dangled an irresistible lure: a file of bogus Star Wars information titled SDI Network Project. The sting worked. The hacker stayed on the line for more than an hour, greedily loading the phony data into his home computer. (The information was booby-trapped as well, containing an address in Berkeley for more information on the fictitious project.) West German authorities, working with the FBI, traced the call to the Hannover apartment, questioned its occupant...
...praises PBH for encouraging 60 percent of Harvard undergraduates to volunteer their time; but he didn't do a thing when PBH was forced to cut its budget by 56 percent.

Columbia might begin with a wider American release for the film and follow up the gesture by financing the director's dream project, an adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest. Surely Bertolucci, among all recent Oscar winners, deserves to see that goldplate turned into box-office gold...
...someone did it," said a government official. "After all he did to us, he deserved it." A founding member of Fatah, al-Wazir was second only to Arafat in the military arm of the P.L.O. He dispatched the first Fatah squad in 1965 to sabotage Israel's main water project, and has been in charge of planning and coordinating military operations inside Israel since...
