Augustus Richard Norton "As we listen to the death rattles of the peace process, it is past time to acknowledge the obvious. Under the leadership of President Clinton, the United States has proved itself incapable of playing the role of honest broker in the difficult negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority." http://www.currenthistory.com/norton.html --- U.S. Navy Captain Charles Gridley earned a place in history on May 1, 1898, during the Battle of Manila Bay. Richard Harris Just after midnight on May 1, 1898, the USS Olympia led the United States' Asiatic Squadron quietly through the calm, glassy waters of the Boca Grande Channel, between the island of Corregidor and the coast of Luzon in the Philippines. The United States was at war with Spain, and the American squadron was preparing to attack a Spanish fleet in Manila Bay. As Sunday morning dawned hours later, the Olympia's commander, Captain Charles Gridley, waited for the order to fire his ship's guns. The order would come from the squadron's commander, Commodore George Dewey, who watched from atop the Olympia's flying bridge as shore batteries fired harmlessly at the advancing column of American ships.At 5:40 A.M. Dewey finally hailed Gridley with the now-famous words, "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley." The ensuing Battle of Manila Bay ended with the destruction of the Spanish fleet and the surrender of the Philippine capital of Manila. It signaled to the world that the United States was a major naval power and made Dewey a national hero. The pivotal sea battle also hastened the death of the terminally ill Captain Gridley. Though considered one of the best and brightest officers in the United States Navy at the time of his death, Gridley would probably be forgotten today if it weren't for Dewey's command. http://www.thehistorynet.com/AmericanHistory/articles/1998/02982_text.htm --- DUKE JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE & INTERNATIONAL LAW, Volume 7, Spring 1997 Symposium, Justice In Cataclysm: Criminal Trials In the Wake of Mass Violence The Case for a Permanent International Truth Commission Michael P.

By Stephan Wilske & Teresa Schiller The Internet now reaches 60 million users in 160 countries, with the number increasing each year. Although cyberspace has been viewed as a self-regulating entity controlled by no government, this myth is being destroyed as the global Internet community expands. With this expansion comes a question: Who has the authority to regulate cyberspace? Given that decisions about the Internet reach far beyond national borders, the answer to this question is unknown, but certainly has broad implications. Traditional laws of international jurisdiction, including jurisdiction to prescribe, jurisdiction to adjudicate, and jurisdiction to enforce, offer some clear answers. However, further development of these laws will be required in order to solve inevitable conflicts. For the time being, Internet users should be aware that the consequence for a few keystrokes is uncertain and possibly severe. http://www.law.indiana.edu/fclj/pubs/v50/no1/wilske.html articles since 1993: http://www.law.indiana.edu/fclj/pubs/pubs.html --- Rutgers Law Journal, Rutgers School of Law, Volume 29, Issue 1 ELECTRONIC MASS MEDIA INFORMATION PROVIDERS AND SECTION 552 OF THE RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF TORTS: THE FIRST AMENDMENT CASTS A LONG SHADOW Joel Rothstein Wolfson http://www-camlaw.rutgers.edu/publications/lawjournal/wolfsonhtm.htm WHAT'S FAIR IS (NOT ALWAYS) FAIR ON THE INTERNET Vincent J.

In July, NATO members voted to invite Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic to join their military alliance, all the time insisting that eastward expansion has nothing to do with kicking an already-weakened Russia while it's down. But is expanding NATO such a good idea?
