...second-guessing the judgment of Charles James, the recently appointed head of the Justice Department's antitrust division. (In a Senate hearing last week, Justice also disputed charges that it was politically motivated in its attempts to settle the $20 billion lawsuit against the tobacco industry, another big Republican contributor.) Microsoft spokesman Vivek Varma called the charges unfair and pointed out that competitors such as Sun Microsystems and Oracle, which have cheered Justice on, are also big political contributors...

Today he is a cardiologist at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital and one of the world's leading experts on arterial inflammation, an immune-system reaction that is the most powerful contributor after cholesterol to heart attacks. A variation on the immune response that causes everything from arthritis to sinus infections, inflammation in the arteries turns out to be as dangerous for the heart as high cholesterol levels in the blood.
