Within earshot of Siahae's killing, another Christian, Tahan Manahan Simatupang, 22, was being interrogated by his Muslim captors. He stood on the porch of a house belonging to a community leader of the subdivision called Pembangunan I, in northern Jakarta. Tahan's hands were tied behind his back. Blood dripped from his beaten face. He said he was one of 150 Christian security guards who had been paid $5 and trucked in to the area the previous night "to stir up the masses" after a minor dispute over an illegal gambling center.

The results of the election campaign his son James P. has waged for his father's old job are expected this month...
...were rooting for Netscape. We didn't want to see it get downsized, restructured or swallowed up. Netscape wasn't just another Silicon Valley software company, any more than Apple is just another computer maker. Netscape stood for something grand, something transcendental and empowering. It gave people the tools to communicate their ideas cheaply or sell their stuff to anyone on the planet without going through middlemen, censors, gatekeepers or even...
