I believe that there were a lot of women at Bletchley Park, too.

I think I've seen one of those women pretending to be Roosevelt at Yalta.

Was it an AT&T phone? Did he say anything negative about AT&T? Does he still have service? It's one thing to buck the Burmese authorities, quite another to challenge AT&T.

Magazine back issues on DVD

I believe there was a separate ruling for the National Geographic case stating that while Tasini applied individual articles or pictures or whatnot, that it was proper for The New Yorker to consider an entire issue or a series of issues their creation. I also think that not having the full text searchable was part of that ruling. So you might as well get used to not having full text. But in any case, that's the reason they are obliged to present a run of issues as a run of issues, they would not be able to sell just the Norman Mailer articles or something.

Personally, I think this is a good ruling, and as a result we get the much-criticized Complete New Yorker, which is far from perfect but I'd rather look at imperfect original page layouts than ASCII anyway.

We cover the Complete New Yorker extensively at Emdashes.com -- by all means come visit us! http://emdashes.com/squib-report/
Sorry for the plug, but it is right up our alley.
