Gates: This question is a little bit of a repeat of what was in front of the courts last year. There was the question in the case of Windows 95 whether it was O.K. for us to add Internet support into that.

...With Columbia taking a 7-0 lead early and Harvard's first drive ending on an interception in the Lion end zone, it looked as if this game might be a repeat of last year's nightmarish 24-0 loss in New York City. But then linebacker Isaiah Kacyvenski reversed Harvard's fortune when he picked off Columbia quarterback Mark Stoutenberg to set up the game-tying touchdown...
