...includes a more than five-month window in which to file documents and a provision for allowing briefs to be more than four times the normal length. Microsoft claims that such provision are warranted by the complexity and monumental nature of the case at hand. Its argument, however, is ill-founded. While complexity and historical import demand a thorough and unbiased weighing of the facts and a fair adjudication the parties conflicting claims, they do not demand such an encumbrance on the court. The appeals court would be prudent to follow the government's more efficient counter-proposal...
...severe lack of democratic participation in ICANN is obvious from the numbers. There are an estimated 370 million Internet users worldwide, of which 160 million are in the United States and Canada.

Indeed, on our bad days, I wish that Americans would behave more like Australians. KRIS GALLAGHER Oak Park, Ill...
...know from Professor Tatar's lectures, every heroine has to be in the dumps before she can triumph victorious. Well, let me tell you, I've been in the gutter ever since my ill-fated article went to print. After that fateful day, my blocking group shunned me away into nowheredom, boys stopped dating me, people whispered behind me in the dining hall, and I was forced to face the constant taunting of my prefectees, who officially dubbed me the "loser prefect." Yes, I used to be cool, I used to be composed. But after I professed my (perfectly legitimate...
