-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- [The Harvard Club is now "business casual". No more jackets and ties - -- while it lasts, anyway... --RAH] The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents (Again, as we were snowed out in March...) Steven Levy, Author, Senior Editor, _Newsweek_ Magazine "How the Crypto Rebels Won" Tuesday, April 3rd, 2000 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA How a group of outsiders envisioned a need for wide-spread cryptography and then took on two daunting missions: providing unprecedented tools to make this happen, and fighting the government for the right to distribute the tools. Steven Levy is a senior editor at Newsweek and author of CRYPTO: HOW THE CODE REBELS BEAT THE GOVERNMENT, SAVING PRIVACY IN THE DIGITAL AGE. He is also author of four other books including HACKERS, ARTIFICIAL LIFE, INSANELY GREAT, and THE UNICORN'S SECRET, and have contributed to many other publications. [NOTE: Because of the cancellation of this presentation in March due to a blizzard, we have rescheduled it to April 3rd. The newly revised schedule for future DCSB talks is included below, and all reservations for the snowed-out March meeting will be honored. The last time a meeting was cancelled for snow was for former NSA Counsel Stewart Baker's April Fool's day talk a few years ago on roughly same topic. Of course, as the old John Birch pamphlet used to howl, "None Dare Call It Conspiracy"... ;-) --RAH] This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2000, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $35.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, A/V hardware if necessary, and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club has relaxed its dress code, which is now "business casual", meaning no sneakers or jeans. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your meal if the Club finds you in violation of what's left of its dress code. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, March 31st, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. If you sent us a check for the cancelled March meeting, we still have it, and you were bcc'd with an asterisk (*) next to your name. If you were bcc'd *without* an asterisk, we have your reservation, but no check. You have time to do that, now... Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $35.00. Please include your e-mail address so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (we've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: May 1st Scott Moskowitz Watermarking and Bluespike TBA Jean Camp Trust and Digital Commerce As you can see, :-), we are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, are a principal in digital commerce, and would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Committee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah@shipwright.com>. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0 iQEVAwUBOq4wDMUCGwxmWcHhAQHjjwf/WjEa8vo0jaAFlCtxfZiJD5tb6WqsPrfO C964I/bWg/qhBRxVQVDgYFrrBya89WDVX+Wf1jmgiVXa4GUL5jgRQe+/ahPIwvb7 4dB8RZ4KELek04pD6N1jto1EF6YdIs7XBmN2IPFRtL82FrayKTuFvfEINseJYZDh r71fhx+a8tDbC4pFH0JMtSdqDFCDnjmQlRo+b/Bkglg1l8KMVGbObzg1jxSJ1hua tajyFnLDoGKFVvrS8dgIYcdAfar7J6uKht1UZtzMHYV5S0IKldK4jwxNpBwjK5kN IAWWyE78rpylM/kG2puiIDje52CW7Uc3fADCXcZHkCJ+Wshb7KRvkQ== =dA0Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ----------------- R.
