No Time like the present.

It is possible, as I'm getting my info from the NY Times. But according to them, Time also was held in contempt (easily verified by a trip to dcd.uscourts.gov), because it failed to produce relevant documents in its possession (the notes). I don't think this is just a "give 'em up or you're fired" situation. Time, in fact, has defended itself vigorously, but (unlike Miller or Cooper) respects that the Supreme Court has ruled (or not, depending on your views of the significance of denying cert.) and it's over (pending the possibility of arguing changed circumstances).
If he's their employee, and refuses to give Time the notes, then presumably they'd have a pretty good reason why they shouldn't be sanctioned.

You don't focus too much on the responsibility side of freedom of the press?

In trying to mock the tree, you are missing the forest.

Go north from Berkeley til you get to the statue of Lenin, although it may as well be Berkeley for all the substantive difference.

I did use it. I went forward in time instead of reverse.

Wouldn't that be great if it were true.
What I heard is that Hubbard was giving a speech and someone asked him "what's the best way to get rich?" and he answered "invent a religion."

Yeah, but you met people over venison.

Saw that and couldn't help but wonder if the poster was inspired by my avatar!
