That would be, for instance, Kevin Clarke, a mild-mannered carpet salesman from Mentor, Ohio, and a loyal Wal-Mart customer, who went ballistic after his son bought a CD by a band named Godsmack that he thought God-awful, particularly a ditty called Voodoo, which seemed to be about suicide. Wal-Mart has long had a policy of banning so-called stickered CDs, those carrying a warning label that the content might not be suitable for children. But Godsmack was stickerless, so Wal-Mart stocked it, until Clarke hollered...
...Microsoft is found to have violated the law, then what? Klein and his troops are scrupulously avoiding talking about a remedy (though they've had experts on retainer for months sorting through the options). The gamut of possible outcomes runs from a mild go-forth-and-sin-no-more to the truly Draconian stuff: forcing Microsoft to share its Windows source code with its competitors or carving up the company into the so-called Baby Bills (see chart). A judge's findings of fact are often a good indication of how far he's willing to go. It's like...

...million in "weather bonds," whose returns are based solely on average temperatures. These new bonds, rated in the BB range, allow weather-sensitive businesses--utilities, ski resorts--to hedge against losses caused by extreme temperatures. If Mother Nature behaves, holders can expect 10% to 30% returns; but a mild winter or scorching summer could melt profits and principal. On another front, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange started trading weather futures in September. Along with pork bellies, plungers can now bet on the average monthly temperature in New York City, Atlanta, Chicago and Cincinnati. The forecast for this winter: La Nina...
