...Stricter rules, though, won't do anything to fix the industry's broader problem. "The big, missing piece of this jigsaw is a compelling alternative" to illegal sites, says Mulligan. Credit the industry, though, with getting closer. Granting cell-phone users months of free access to a catalogue of songs, for instance, Nokia will launch its Comes With Music service later this year, reimbursing artists and their labels from expected new sales of its music-compatible phones; a similar service, available through Korea's LG, comes out this summer. Offers like those won't put an end to all illegal...
...better headway than it did in the trial of Milosevic, who died without a verdict in 2006, four years after his trial opened. Klarin says the great bulk of the events for which Karadzic faces trial - including the Srebrenica massacre - have already been adjudicated in other cases.

And during the primaries, even a sizable number of Democrats told pollsters they felt uncomfortable voting for a black...
...want to be careful not to talk about specific briefings where somebody tells a story that was part of a classified briefing. But you really did get a sense uniformly among just the average guy out on patrol to the NATO commander that this is a critical problem that has to be solved. So that's one. The second thing was, I think, the degree that Afghanistan has to start from such a deficit when it comes to development. You know, we're rightfully focused on narco-trafficking. But you've got a 30% literacy rate. We actually had dinner...
