Two newly created Baby Bills would have had an economic incentive to act competitively, meaning that the market would guard against future monopolistic activity. Conduct remedies, by contrast, require a court to monitor the offender's actions for prolonged periods to ensure that they do not lapse into illegal activity...
Jakes, by contrast, is a man of vivid particulars living in an age suspicious of the phrase "common ground." Some Americans might find him too black. Some Christians would consider him too Pentecostal, and even some Pentecostals question aspects of his theology.

Where Tricky mixes himself into the background in favor of his collaborators, Björk knows that it is only...
...little reason to sympathize with Solanka’s love for Neela besides her beauty. We are given only the briefest insight into her background, and her passion for her native country’s freedom remains a background consideration until the novel’s final pages. In contrast, a male friend of Solanka’s, who is dead before the book opens, is given an extensive, engaging history, full of the contradictions on which Rushdie thrives...
