...ruling undermines the Napster way of life. As much as 87% of the music being shared on the site today may be unauthorized. And it presents the company with a stark practical problem. Napster, which was cobbled together just two years ago by college student Shawn Fanning, then 18, has never included a mechanism for identifying unauthorized files...
...shock the media as a whole into paying attention. The controversy created by the presence of Berg* and Saint Laurent was of a sort that is lost on anyone outside fashion's inner circle. Sure, Arnault scored points there, but the larger question remains whether Dior Homme's stark ads, minimal styles and boyish models make sense in the house of Dior that Galliano has been remodeling. Is it logical for two strong yet vastly different designers to coexist-let alone cocreate-for the same brand? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a single unified image? After...
...looked only at the subjects Suzan-Lori Parks has tackled--racism, homelessness, sexual hypocrisy--you might mistake her for a polemicist.

Not one but two of her plays revolve around a character who makes a living as an arcade attraction playing Abraham Lincoln; patrons pay to impersonate John Wilkes Booth, grab a pistol and shoot him. (The image simply "burned itself into my mind," she explains.) Her spiky plays often take place in a strange nowheresville and feature Greek...

Even veteran Clinton-watchers were astonished by the ingeniousness of the plan: Seemingly by accident (although most of us knew better), Clinton had located the perfect launching pad for the post-White House years, heck, even a mayoral run. In Harlem, Clinton is loved, even revered - and the stark white light of the Bush administration only makes the former president more appealing...

Within the walls of the courtroom at Camp Zeist in the Netherlands, legal reasoning held sway as presiding judge Lord Ranald Sutherland issued the unanimous verdicts of a three-judge panel in the trial of two Libyans for mass murder. The decisions were the culmination of more than 12 years of anguished activism by family members, and almost a decade of diplomatic wrangling to secure the defendants and set the unique location and parameters of the trial. They were based...
