I heard a brief one-sentence report on the BBC World Service several
days ago to the effect that U.S. Federal authorities had formally
charged R. T. Morris, Jr., with crimes in connection with the Internet
worm of November 1988.  Could someone with accurate details kindly post
them to the net; readers of this newsgroup were very actively involved,
both in fighting off the worm and (afterward) in debating the ethics of
the affair.  Thanks in advance...
