"I'm a Believer" began with an innocent guitar/bass duet and ended with each band member convulsing in his own private seizure, screaming, "I'm a believer, I'm a believer."

...turned to the Justice Department for antitrust relief, and he started looking for an exit strategy. So while the district court in Washington moved at its glacial pace to determine whether Microsoft had violated the public trust, Netscape scampered at Net speed into AOL's $4.2 billion embrace. Hum a dirge, friend, and light a candle to your info gods. Netscape, we hardly knew...
