From: "R. A. Hettinga" Subject: DCSB: Steven Levy; How the Crypto Rebels Won Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 5:54 AM [Note that the Harvard Club is now "business casual". No more jackets and ties -- while it lasts, anyway :-)... --RAH] The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents Steven Levy, Author, Senior Editor, _Newsweek_ Magazine "How the Crypto Rebels Won" Tuesday, March 6th, 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. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, March 6th, 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 3rd, 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. 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: April 3 Scott Moskowitz Watermarking and Bluespike 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, . ----------------- R.
