LIBYA TRAVEL BAN LIFTED
"The United States lifted a long-standing ban on travel to Libya on Thursday after Moammar Gadhafi's government affirmed that it was responsible for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988.
The White House announcement lifted travel curbs that have been in place for 23 years against Libya, a country which the United States had long branded a sponsor of state terrorism.

BOOTLEG CAUSES STIR
"When DJ Dangermouse decided to combine raps from Jay-Z's 'The Black Album' with music from the Beatles' legendary 'White Album' to create 'The Grey Album,' he didn't have permission from either side to do it - and he didn't care. 'I intended for it to be for friends and for people who knew my stuff. I figured it would get passed around, and it would be this little underground thing, but it kind of took off on its own,' said the music producer, born Brian Burton. That's an understatement. Although he only pressed up a few thousand copies on CD, it has become a hotly traded album on the Web, sparking the consternation of the Beatles' parent label and an Internet protest in support of Dangermouse."
