Lawrence was nearly able to sack Cousins, but the quarterback was able to get the ball away to set up what should have been a critical third-and-4. Instead, the officials flagged Lawrence for roughing the passer, despite the fact that Lawrence hit Cousins as the ball was being thrown and avoided putting his body weight on him as Cousins crashed to the turf....

His wild, over budget “Adventures of Baron Munchausen” became a legendary commercial disaster, while his madcap “Twelve Monkeys” became an unexpected success....

BT holds a U.S. patent that it claims gives it ownership of hypertext technology, the software that creates electronic links between digital files like text blocks and pictures. And it is suing Prodigy, claiming that the Internet service provider owes it millions of dollars in licensing fees for use of hypertext. A victory would rearrange the digital landscape.
