   "Apple, IBM, JavaSoft, Motorola, Netscape, Nortel, Novell,
   RSA, and Silicon Graphics Announce PICA Crypto-Alliance"

      task of developing differing domestic and exportable
      security requirements much easier. [GAK alliance 2.]


   PrNe: "World Wide Web Casinos, Inc. Brings Gambling to the
   Internet at www.netpirates.com"

      "Placing bets cannot be illegal because, despite their
      origination, bets will technically be placed on the 
      computers at our off-shore spy-based casino site."


   BuWi: "Cylink Partners with U.S.P.S to Build National 
   Citizen Tracking System to Include Postmarking and 
   Authentication for Legal/Medical Records, Tax Filings"


   PhIn: "Unsuspecting Internet Users' 'Cookie' Files Concern
   Privacy Advocates"
