'Gunner' puts political opinions aside

By C. Warner Sills · Wednesday, July 6,2005 8:36 p.m.

In the world of controversial, "point your finger at the bad guy" documentaries like "Fahrenheit 9/11" or "Super Size Me," it's nice to see a documentary that goes out to document, and not to judge.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that manufacturers of peer-to-peer downloading programs can be held liable for copyright infringement committed by users. "We hold that one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties," said Justice David Souter, who wrote the court's 24-page opinion.

Bloomington readying for July 4 celebration, parade

By Cordell Eddings and Cordell M. Eddings · Thursday, June 30,2005 1:54 a.m.

Around the country the smell of charcoal, gun powder, and barbeque smoke will soon permeate the air, and Bloomington will be no different. It has been 229 years since the Founding Fathers sat together in a room and signed a piece of paper that would birth American democracy, and nothing says happy 229th birthday like good food, fun and fireworks.

My draft conversion

By Alyson Brodsy and Andy Romey · Thursday, June 30,2005 1:11 a.m.

I'm not a very religious person. But in late June, every year, I manage to become one -- and once again on Tuesday night I was converted. Reaching way back in my mind, I can dig out my earliest NBA Draft memory -- naively arguing with my dad before 1992's draft about Christian Laettner being drafted before Shaquille O'Neal. But hey, it could have been worse. I could have put him on the Dream Team.

The North Carolina Tarheels dominated throughout the college season, winning 33 games en route to the 2005 National Championship. Tuesday night in New York, the Tarheels stole the show at the NBA Draft as four players from the title squad were selected in the lottery, in the first 14 picks of the draft. It was the first time any school had four players picked in the lottery. The last team to have four players selected in the first round was Duke in 1999.

Over the past few years, I've felt discouraged and angry at how often someone is called an America-hater. With Independence Day being next Monday, now is the perfect time to reflect on what America stands for, and furthermore, what it means to hate it.

The master plan

By Alyson Brodsy and Russell Puntenney · Thursday, June 30,2005 1:08 a.m.

You wouldn't know it from looking at me, but I was once very close to becoming a millionaire. So close, in fact, I already had plans for the fortune when it fell through. I never bought a Powerball ticket or heard from Publisher's Clearing House, but I promise I was as close as any 11-year-old could be to such a prize -- one Big Mac Value Meal away, to be exact.
