When did they all meet? (Oct 17 2003 18:21 GMT) - When do you think the gang actually first met eachother? I know George and Jerry go back aways because they knew eachother in highschool, but what about Kramer and Elaine? I would take a guess and say that Jerry met Kramer when he moved into the building. Or maybe they all knew eachother as kids...that would be funny having one seinfeld episode where they are having flashbacks from when they were all kids. |

House committee passes database bill (Oct 17 2003 18:21 GMT) - The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property adopted the bill yesterday in a straight party-line vote in which all the Republicans were in favor and all the Democrats opposed. In today's Chronicle of Higher Education, Andrea Foster writes (accessible only to subscribers), "Scientists and groups representing colleges and academic libraries have long opposed legislation that would offer broad intellectual-property protections for databases. Such protections could stifle scholarship, they say. But the Association of American Universities, the American Council on Education, and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges agreed on Wednesday to withdraw their opposition to the legislation after the bill's sponsors revised it to shield accredited nonprofit colleges and nonprofit research laboratories from liability."

Losing the Peace, Pt. 1 (Oct 17 2003 18:20 GMT) - Jessica's Well has posted two retoactively hilarious pieces from Life in 1946 about how the U.S was "losing the victory in Europe." The main article was written by the eminent novelist John Dos Passos (whose journey from far left to hard right is one of the more stunning and fascinating ideological shifts among major 20th century writers) and is chock full of doom and gloom. Whether you were for or against the invasion of Iraq (I was against it), the Life stories are well worth reading and they do indeed provide sly commentary on how the press is dealing with the situation in postwar Iraq. While it's not clear that most of the media was against the war (at least at the time it started), there's every reason to believe that coverage is biased in favor of bad news over good. |

Ouch. Read [Thanks, Dan]... |
