...refineries and railroad gauges. But the Justice Department decided to make things simple on the first day of its sweeping antitrust suit against Microsoft: it dispensed with the case law and put Bill Gates front and center. A disembodied, larger-than-life Gates hovered over Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's courtroom on a 10-ft.-tall computerized video monitor during much of government lawyer David Boies' opening statement. The thrust of Boies' argument: the fidgety, spectral man-in-the-monitor was coolly dissembling about his plans to dominate the world technology market...
...Justice Department lawyers have good tactical reasons for keeping Gates' own words and deeds at the heart of their case. Justice began its antitrust campaign against Microsoft with a straightforward claim that the company was guilty of improperly "bundling" its Internet Explorer browser into its popular Windows software. Judge Jackson bought the argument, but it was shot down by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals--a reversal that Microsoft viewed as decisive.

As did Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey, Barry Bonds, Greg Maddux and Roger Clemens. Your best bet is to try to distract Timmy with candy. In the future, candy will be even better...
This year's champions were not really Yankees. Yankees are Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Reggie Jackson. Yankees are guys who like nothing better than hitting home runs, except for talking about hitting home runs. Yankees don't understand strategy because they're too good, too lazy and too drunk to bother. Yankees don't steal bases, paint the corners or run out routine grounders. And Yankees never, ever avoid the media. Of his team, Torre says, "They all want to get the game-winning hit, but they don't want to talk about it." These aren't Yankees. These...
