...Chandra Levy. While authorities seem no closer to finding out what happened to the 24-year-old intern, we seem to have learned a lot about the secret life of a preacher's kid from Oklahoma who grew up to be a California Congressman. He once campaigned under the slogan "Setting a Good Example." It was a dangerous boast for any public official to make, practically a dare to be proved wrong...
...York Times famously prides itself on publishing "all the news that's fit to print." But that slogan was coined a century before the digital age. Last week, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that freelance writers retained full rights to their work in cyberspace, the Times began to purge its electronic archives of 115,000 articles that freelancers had written from 1980 to 1995.

Today Ajjampur, 25, is working at the Berlin Internet firm Datango - the company that advertised on the T-shirt. "I never expected this to happen," he says, gesturing to the surrounding high-rises of the East Berlin...
...green card program has been controversial in Germany, where immigration remains a touchy subject. The country has more than 7 million foreigners, about 9% of the population, the highest percentage in Western Europe. In state elections last year, the opposition Christian Democratic Union used as a campaign slogan "Kinder statt Inder," which means "children instead of Indians." The slogan was meant to suggest that the state should properly educate German children to fill the country's high-tech jobs rather than bring in foreigners.
