(Sorry for the "from" and "to" names; I'm using elm and it just doesn't format the headers in a way that the Cypherpunks list software's happy with) America Online goofed, and let a preliminary description of this week's Time magazine remain online after Time pulled an article on Clipper at the last minute. I've got a screen snapshot of the welcome screen containing the promo text, as well as email from Tom Mandel, who maintains the Time Online information. He says it was pulled due to late breaking news. So, if Time puts out an article favorable to Clipper, and distracting the public's attention from mandated key escrow, it might make sense to do a little investigative journalism of our own. Not that I'd accuse Time of knuckling under to Administration pressure to pull the article, or making revisions based on NSA "advice." Are EFF and CPSR doing everything possible to get media attention? Can't the EFF hold a press conference and hand out a "Big Brother" award to whichever congresscritter has done the most to hurt the cause of privacy? Any of the sponsors of the FBI Wiretap bill would do. A little heavy adverse publicity might give pause to other critters, at least the ones up for re-election anyway. - Jim Nitchals
