Amid protests by furious Anwar supporters, police surrounded the jailed deputy's home, threatening to arrest Anwar's wife for telling reporters that authorities had injected her husband with the AIDS virus during his detention...

The software billionaire was due to be deposed by the DOJ Wednesday at his Redmond campus, but that's likely to be delayed until all the logistics can be ironed out. And boy, are there ever logistics -- how many people to admit and the thorny issue of ordering everyone out when Gates starts talking about company secrets.
