The bill, H.R. 3, was introduced in September and would allow Medicare to negotiate prices with drug companies in an effort to control the soaring cost of prescription drugs in the United States. More than 100 Democrats have sponsored the bill, compared with zero Republicans. But a liberal coalition of House Democrats doesn’t think the legislation goes far enough to cut costs.

Yet Terra Lycos could be a contender, many analysts reckon.

The first thought is usually about May 17, 1979, when the teams battled it out in a see-saw affair that produced 45 runs, but their matchup on April 17, 1976, was almost as entertaining. That was the day Mike Schmidt made history with a quartet of homers that helped key a major Phillies comeback in another contest that was drunk on runs. But Schmidt’s performance was about more than the four home runs....

Press censorship and intimidation are hardly new in the Middle East. But until recently, bloggers were too marginal to gag. Only about 10 percent of Arabs have access to the Internet, compared with the huge penetration of satellite TV, which beams Al-Jazeera and other networks to hundreds of millions of homes. “Governments in the region didn’t take the blogger phenomenon seriously,” says Elijah Zarwan, the Egypt researcher for Human Rights Watch....
