...said it probably would not affect Harvard students' ability to use the service. Instead, Napster users beyond Harvard will have a harder time downloading songs off of Harvard computers...
...Instead of allowing problems like illiteracy to fester and remain a life-long stumbling block to disadvantaged students, Bush will hold schools accountable to meet certain basic standards.
