...hell." When Republican Ray LaHood signed onto one of the managed-care reform bills, two executives of Caterpillar, his district's largest employer, quickly flew to Washington to register their unhappiness with him. Small-business owners--the operators of hardware stores, real estate agencies and Laundromats who form the bedrock of G.O.P. support at home--are even more upset at the prospect of a bill that could raise their insurance costs. Six Republicans, including Norwood, have already removed their names from the Norwood bill. A health-care-industry official put it bluntly, "You gotta climb over [local business leaders'] dead...
Like any smoky gentlemen's club, the U.S. Senate includes some members the others wish had never got in. Too pushy. Always wanting to change things, even bedrock traditions like due respect for the marriage of money and power.

Sherman, in essence, says it's O.K. to achieve a monopoly, but not to use one to wedge your way into other lines of business. Klein calls actions like the nasty one Microsoft is accused of taking against Compaq--threatening its largest PC partner with...
