...your list of the 20th century's great monopolies. When the Justice Department squared off against Bill Gates & Co. in a Washington courtroom, it was no secret that things went badly for Bill. But even so, the findings of fact that Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson handed down were stunning in their breadth and their certainty: a blunt 412-paragraph j'accuse that nails Microsoft not only on the two most critical issues--that it has monopoly control over PC operating systems and that it wields that power in ways that harm American consumers--but on virtually every count brought against...

The specialist who met our Basic Training class at Columbia Airport thought we might be "processed" - the purpose of our current limbo at the Arms Reception Battalion - in three to five days, before moving on to the real thing, boot camp. That now seems a vain hope, and it seems unlikely we will have completed Basic by Christmas. I talk to two privates at dinner chow who've been here for three weeks since processing; they're still waiting to move on.?The current?in-the-wind estimate for the 13th Platoon...
