...briefs, but it showed that Microsoft was ready to play hardball. Microsoft has also formed the so-called Freedom to Innovate network, a "nonpartisan, grass-roots network of citizens and businesses" that happens to reside on the company's website. And it has undertaken an aggressive state-level lobbying campaign--mindful, perhaps, that the suit against it is being pressed by 19 state attorneys general. Another political variable that argues for Microsoft to stall for time: the upcoming presidential race. If the Republicans take the White House, they may be willing to settle on more favorable terms than the Klein...

While the paper seemed to sag during the past decade, it has regained some bite under the tutelage of Michael Parks, the Pulitzer prizewinning foreign correspondent who became editor in 1997. The paper often beat its Washington rivals in covering campaign-finance abuses last year, does solid coverage of Hollywood business, and is in the middle of a hard-hitting series on police corruption.
