...snicker pre-pubescently at. Even more interesting is his incorporation of Western texts and ideas into a decidedly Eastern way of thinking. Thus Proust becomes a Vedic prayer-chant master; the great creator-spirit Prajapat faces Kafka-esque dilemmas that lead him to be compared to The Trial s K. The gods and mythical figures of Ka are not the heavy-handed, wrathful gods of the West. These are thinking, breathing creatures who can bitch and moan, laugh and cry, love and be loved just like us--not so exotic, after...
BOSTON: It happened to O.J. Now get ready for Louise Woodward: The Civil Trial. District Court Judge William Young ruled Thursday that the British au pair, who returned home earlier this year after an appeals court upheld her reduced sentence in the death of baby Matthew Eappen, was liable for "punitive damages." A court date was set for next January. Those damages would be in consideration of Deborah and Sunil Eappen's loss, a lifetime's worth of "companionship" from Matthew ?- for which compensation could, in theory, run into millions of dollars...
...days later, on May 22, 1994, Ken Saro-Wiwa was arrested for the alleged murder of four Ogoni activists, charges so ridiculous that Amnesty International declared him a "prisoner of conscience"--a person held captive for his political beliefs.

Five weeks and a deluge of damning "snippets" later, it's still the company line -- as shown by Bill Gates's interview with the Associated Press late Wednesday, in which the software titan accuses the government of doing its best "to put words in my mouth." Not surprisingly, Gates now says he would...
...Boies' aim in showing the video was to cast doubt on Gates' credibility, he seems to have hit the mark. (At one point, Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson chuckled over a particularly blatant Gates evasion.) And there is no question that tearing down the defendant company's CEO is shrewd trial strategy. "It's damaging from a legal point of view when you have a judge hear a boss get up and lie," notes D.C. antitrust lawyer Donald Falk. "It may lead the judge to disbelieve the company's other rationalizations...
