...wonder the last line of the DOJ's lawsuit against Microsoft asks "that the plaintiff recover the costs of this action" -- in other words, that Bill Gates cough up for Klein's legal fees. But the AAG's point is well taken: When billion-dollar corporate lovefests like Travelers Group-Citicorp and Daimler Benz-Chrysler seem to take place every other day, and the responsible watchdog's budget has not been adjusted for inflation since 1993, it's time to pass the hat. Still, as anyone who has tried to navigate www.usdoj.gov/atr knows, the first thing Klein needs...
...headquarters of Microsoft's Washington lobbyists, Gates met JOEL KLEIN, the department's top antitrust enforcer. Gates did most of the talking; Klein had instructed his aides to "let him have his say." Gates argued that Microsoft's contributions to computer technology justified Windows 98's release, despite DOJ's claims that it violated not just a 1995 court agreement but also the basic principles of antitrust policy.

WASHINGTON: Poor Alexis Herman. Thanks to jittery attorneys in the Justice Department?s Public Integrity office, the labor secretary becomes the fifth Clinton cabinet member to go under an independent counsel?s microscope. The publicity-wary DOJ lawyers advised Janet Reno to appoint an investigator, and the attorney general agreed -- despite admitting there was ?no evidence clearly demonstrating Secretary Herman?s involvement? in a cash-for-influence scam. Now it?s up to a three-judge court of appeals panel to name the lucky prosecutor...
...With the DOJ and states' attorneys general still hedging on a definitive declaration of intent to file suit against Microsoft this week, Sun was first out of the gate Tuesday with a request to forbid Microsoft to distribute Windows 98 unless it contains Sun's version of Java. Sun already has a lawsuit in progress against Microsoft for taking liberties with Java, an issue that has also atttracted the attention of the DOJ. But much remains in doubt at this point. The DOJ and the states -- whose number has grown from the 13 that originated the investigation -- are still widely...
