- The NYT reports on the buzz in the publishing industry about the launch next week of the new magazine Radar, edited and published by Maer Roshan, formerly the editorial director of Tina Brown's ill-fated Talk magazine.

- Mankind's questions unscroll day and night on a computer screen in an office hallway in Mountain View, California. Workers here at Google were once fascinated to watch the queries climb up and off the screen, two per second, 173,000 per day. But they rarely stop to glance anymore. Most Google employees long ago lost interest in the words and the astonishing numbers they represent: Each of these questions, culled randomly from six giant server farms scattered around the world, represents 1,500 inquiries, totaling 260 million Web searches per day. |

Russia (Apr 17 2003 14:54 GMT) - via Interfax: A decision to lift sanctions against Iraq can only be made by the UN Security Council based on a conclusion made by the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) confirming the absence of banned weapons in Iraq, a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry told Interfax on Thursday. via Interfax: Many Russians (44%) believe relations with the United States have not changed over the past month, while 34% think they have worsened. Nevertheless, 60% are convinced that Russia should not spoil relations with the United States over the Iraq war, and only 16% find it permissible or even desirable.... |

- The WashPost's Howard Kurtz reads Bill Clinton's latest sortie into the media spotlight as evidence that the former president (and foreign-policy failure) "just can't stand being off the stage for long." Writes Kurtz: Frankly, in light of the stunning military victory in Iraq, his comments sound a bit churlish – even though he makes some valid points. Shouldn't the former commander-in-chief be congratulating America's soldiers? Maybe Clinton is just trying to boost interest in his "60 Minutes" debates with Bob Dole. |

- Last year, state lawmakers amended legislation passed in the late '80s that had banned personal communication devices in public schools in an attempt to curb drug dealing.Under the new law, districts may allow the devices, but they are not required to do so. Students with health problems must receive a guaranteed exemption from a ban if they need to carry a pager or phone. Travis Unified School District was the most recent local district to rewrite its policy. Surprisingly, the new policy continues to prohibit students from possessing or using cell phones. |

- Source: YahooLITTLE ROCK - The very technology that revolutionized retail checkout — the bar code — is now being subverted by anti-capitalist protesters who fancy themselves cyberpranksters. The activists drew the ire of Wal-Mart Inc., the world's largest retailer, with a Web site that encouraged people to "name their own prices" by offering hundreds of substitute bar codes. Wal-Mart considered the ploy an incitement to theft and sent a cease-and-desist letter dated April 2 to one of the companies that was hosting the Web site, Re-code. |
