When I left Washington, D.C., for Washington State four years ago, a friend at Justice gave me a DOJ baseball cap as a joke. I wore it last Halloween, calling it the scariest costume I could think of. But many people didn't think that was very funny. The sense of grievance was too raw. DOJ antitrust chief Joel Klein is actually a friend of mine. (He's not the one who gave me the hat.) When I tell people this, they are sometimes amazed--not at my brazen name dropping or at the idea that I once traveled...
...rough day for MSFT. The stock has been swinging wildly over the past few weeks, rising on rumors of a settlement, diving when talks appeared stalled. And now those talks are dead. What went wrong?

So once again the mud is flying around the White House, a fact that its enemies lost no time trying to exploit. Noting that some of the lost files were addressed to Vice...
