...recent success of the iMAC shows, there's little can be said certainly about the future of high-tech business...
During her January trip to Washington to meet the managers, the national press made the New York Post look timid. One gang tried to rent the Mayflower Hotel room next to the suite where the managers interviewed her. Police used high-tech devices to keep anyone from eavesdropping. Then a group of photographers tore down a curtain to get a clear shot through a window Lewinsky was supposed to pass. Even the stately New York Times reported the contents of her breakfast and the fact that she cried herself to sleep the night before...
...five time zones away, in Beijing. To the Chinese, the Gulf War was a revelation--an introduction to 21st century tactics and weaponry that pointed out, in the most graphic way possible, the limits of China's massive but antiquated military.

When the company leans hard on rivals, it says, it's playing typical high-tech hardball. Oracle, Intel or Apple, Microsoft insists, would do no differently. And meetings that look collusive to lawyers in Washington are required in an industry where rival products must fit together. "There have to be some standards," says Neukom.
