...California-based legal publication revealed Tuesday that Facebook.com paid $65 million to settle accusations that its founder Mark E. Zuckerberg ’07 stole elements from rival social networking site ConnectU to create his multi-billion dollar Web site. The Recorder obtained the information from an inadvertent disclosure in the January newsletter of Quinn, Emanuel, Urquhart, Oliver and Hedges, the law firm that represented ConnectU until it was fired last spring. In 2004, ConnectU founders Cameron S. H. Winklevoss ’04, Tyler O. H. Winklevoss, ’04, and Divya K. Narendra...

Israel's election and the Gaza conflict have revealed the scale of the challenge facing U.S. President Barack Obama in jump-starting Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts. Israeli voters tacked to the right, and the government that results from Tuesday's election will be, if anything, even less inclined than the current government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to conclude a two-state peace agreement with the Palestinian leadership. (Of course, the year of talks about talks between Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas failed to yield any progress.) Meanwhile, the Gaza war cemented the stature of Hamas...
Israel's election on Tuesday ended in a near draw, with the two front runners - centrist Kadima Party leader Tzipi Livni and hawkish Likud chief Benjamin Netanyahu - each claiming victory. With nearly all votes counted, Livni's party won 28 Knesset seats, and Netanyahu's 27 seats, both falling well short of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset...
