...also illegal. With Netscape crying foul, the Feds successfully pressed an antitrust suit against Microsoft. The PR damage - Gates acting insolent on the witness stand, showing a convenient lack of memory about key business decisions - turned out to be short-lived and is all but forgotten as Gates remakes himself as a philanthropist. But the court's decree forced the great general to march cautiously into the future. He may have won the Battle of the Browser, but he would start to see major casualties in the Internet...
...does the potential combination appear to trip antitrust alarms. InBev's business is primarily overseas, and the Bud brands would continue to face strong competition from the soon-to-be-merged Miller and Coors breweries. The story of this deal may ultimately come down to two words: money talks. (Muscular Euros, in fact, talk real loud these days...
...shot off little note to Goodell co-authored by Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, whose constituents were now faced with the prospect of watching the snow pile up instead of the Pats running it up against the Giants this Saturday.

David Von Drehle's article was provocative and interesting, but I believe it is erroneous to assert that "the court's ideology is playing a dwindling role in the lives of Americans." This observation ignores the significant role the Roberts Court has assumed in shaping federal antitrust, labor and securities law. Big Business may be benefiting from the court's rulings at the expense of consumers, workers and small investors. Decisions on pocketbook issues may not make headlines or create strong emotional reactions, but they may ultimately have a greater impact on the average American than the more high-profile...
