...first and only witness during Week One was Netscape CEO James Barksdale. He contended, in 127 pages of direct testimony, that Microsoft systematically "set out to use its vast power as the producer of Windows to 'cut off Netscape's air supply.'" Netscape is a strong case study for the Justice Department because its alleged injuries are clear and dramatic. According to AdKnowledge, Netscape had almost 77% of the browser market in January 1997, compared to Microsoft's Internet Explorer's 20%. By August 1998, Microsoft had 49% to Netscape...
...renovations have also improved the heating and cooling systems, which were formerly centrally controlled and rather unresponsive to temperature changes. "Sometimes in the spring when the air conditioning was on, I used to teach while students wore coats--you could see their breath in the air!" Mueller recalls.

CAPE CANAVERAL: John Glenn is back in space. After a couple of last-minute glitches ? a minor air pressure alarm in the cockpit and a couple of private aircraft in the vicinity ? space shuttle Discovery blasted off a mere 20 minutes behind schedule on an otherwise clear, cloudless launch day. "I feel like a kid at his first Christmas," President Clinton said earlier as he watched from the roof of the John F. Kennedy Space Center. He wasn?t alone. Millions of visitors had flocked to the Cape, hoping to catch a little bit of the Glenn magic. And Glenn...
