But the trustbusters held that All should not have been sold to any of the soap industry's Big Three-Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive or Lever. Said Justice Department Antitrust Chief Victor Hansen: "We aim to protect competition, not the competitor; to support the process, no matter who gets hurt or who benefits...
