...years on, everyone thinks they know what happened on Aug. 31, 1997. But Baker's statement, peppered with phrases like "contradictory evidence" and "perhaps we shall never know," promises a flood of unreliable testimony, conflicting expert opinion and unexplained anomalies that could force everyone to think again. Here are the three key questions that will probably only lead to more questions...
...frequented by twenty-somethings for its moderately hip bar scene, downtown Naperville was alive on this night in a way I had never seen. The businesses cleverly changed their colors and names, the teens un-self-consciously donned outlandish costumes, and the drunken twenty-somethings made way for the flood of families who filled the streets, all in the name of a book.

...crushing blow to Microsoft, which has engaged in a bitter nine-year wrangle with the Commission. But the ruling also confirms the role of the Commission, which had staked its reputation as an antitrust regulator on the case. A defeat would have undermined its authority and risked a flood of court appeals against every Commission decision...
