...Harvard will enter its tilt with Penn tomorrow with momentum on its side following its 7-1 blowout of Vermont. That contest saw the Crimson perform much better in all aspects of its game than it did in a 3-0 loss to Texas A&M the previous week. Harvard had much working against its favor in that opening game, not least of which was the fact that it had only been back on campus practicing for just over a week. The Aggies, on the other hand, already had several games under their belts by then...
...cypherpunks, like the hippies, love to tilt against windmills. Their most glamorous imaginary weapon is not free speech or free software or even free music. It is free money, anonymous electronic cash and untraceable digital funds, free of all government oversight and laundered over the Internet.

...Osprey has been considered good technology, but at too high a price," says Thompson. "[Bush secretary of defense] Dick Cheney tried repeatedly to kill the program, but support in Congress was too strong to overcome." The debate now, says Thompson, is over whether this revolutionary aircraft - which uses tilt-rotor technology, enabling it to take off and land like a helicopter but fly like a plane - is worth its hefty price tag. But with the unwavering support of congressional delegates from two powerful states (Pennsylvania, where Boeing's helicopter division is based, and Texas, home of Bell Textron) the plug...
