Ross said MSNBC had pulled the Palladium story, not Newsweek.
Other Levy stories remain available on MSNBC. A search on
MSNBC for "Palladium" produces Steven Levy's chat about
Palladium:

This seems to be related to the "Stego Watch" program sold by Wetstone

citations for a few papers on it, but none are online. I'll go to the

Ross Anderson charged that Microsoft "censored" Newsweek because the
Stephen Levy article disappeared. Actually Newsweek moves articles to
their for-pay archives after a week. You can still find a pointer to
it by going to www.newsweek.com and entering Palladium in the "Search
the archives" box.

You never, ever, collect debt from one that has a bigger gun than you do.
'debt' as a notion has meaning only between equal parties.
Everything's OK and taken care for, no need for panic or doomsday predictions.

Bear in mind that the holders of US debts do not want the debts
paid, only the interest, and in fact want both to increase as they
have consistently since the US government went into hock.
A prime reason holders of US debt fear other countries defaulting
on their debt is that that might become a

household.
Now some interesting question related questions are:
- who is that debt owed to?
- what proportion of current year US tax revenues go to service that
debt?

Thanks for the tip! I just got a new cert from Geotrust,
and it was such an amazing contrast to those I've gotten
from Verisign and Thawte! They apparently take the verification
info from the whois data on the site, and you really can do
the process from start to finish in 10 minutes or so.
