...total. Compare that with the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour movie, which earned $31 million its opening weekend a year ago, and in fewer theaters. As movie stars, the brothers are lukewarm, not red hot. But with a TV series starting this fall, they should remain the favorite boy band of 8-year-olds at least through the recession...
...concert's big special effect, when the brothers pick up large hoses, hold them at their waists and - I'm not making this up, ask anybody - squirt jismatic spumes of white gooey stuff into the audience.

In place of this patchwork approach, Harvard has the potential to implement a broad, forward-looking, and relatively cost-neutral licensing policy that would ensure appropriate access measures for the technology we create...
