...many as 750,000 Aborigines on the Australian continent in 1788; the first governor of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip, thought some 1,500 lived between Botany Bay to the south and the mouth of the Hawkesbury River to the north. He knew them all as Eora, although they were several distinct tribes: Gayimai, Cadigal, Wangal, Walumeda. Within a year of making contact with the British arrivals, half of them were dead of smallpox...
...action by Harvard to restrict Napster access at this point would also be premature. The illegality of the service itself has still not been established; the file-sharing software is content-neutral and has significant legal uses. Although U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel has found Napster to be liable for copyright infringement and issued an injunction against the service, this injunction has been stayed until the appeal can be heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals this October. It would be foolish for the University to block access to a service that is currently legal to operate. Should...
...Although the University has not yet indicated how it will respond, we are heartened by administrators' recognition of the educational value of open Internet access. Harvard provides Internet access to students primarily in order to assist them in academic research; however, free and unfettered access also allows students to benefit from Internet communication as a social and cultural phenomenon.

So--although Egyptian billionaire MOHAMED AL FAYED doesn't think the U.S. government killed PRINCESS DIANA and his son Dodi--on the third anniversary of their fatal Paris car crash, he sued several U.S. agencies to find out if they know who did. Al Fayed seeks to obtain alleged secret documents held by the CIA, the Justice Department and the National Security Agency. A French investigation has concluded that the accident was caused by drunk driving...
...Although trivial in the end, the outburst was a setback in Bush's wooing of the press. He routinely comes to the back of the plane to pinch cheeks and hand out nicknames. He asks about the budding romances of the reporters on board; his favorite scribes get their bald heads palmed. The care and feeding is four star. The last time I was on the plane, I had six meals--one featured lobster--over the course of three events, an excellent ratio. Sleep was plentiful, thanks to Bush's light schedule, which protects his naps, nights and weekends...
