Homeowners lose legal challenge over Tate Modern visitors looking into their apartments

Residents of a high-rise apartment block in London have lost a long-running legal bid to stop visitors to the Tate Modern art museum from looking through their windows -- after a judge ruled that they could solve the problem simply by closing their blinds.
