...government's crucial charge that Microsoft tried to buy off Netscape, its archrival in the Internet browser business. "Somebody asked if it made sense investing in Netscape, and I said it didn't make any sense," Gates said, in a clip from his August 1998 deposition. But a moment later, the video monitors were displaying a seemingly contradictory 1995 e-mail, in which Gates wrote of Netscape, "We could give them money as part of the deal, buy a piece of them or something." On another key point, video Gates declared that he was "not involved" in setting...
...visitors to the city, but the approach of winter is ominous for the transients inhabiting a fourth-floor walk-up on the Bowery. In the heat of summer, a few at least are able to sleep on the fire escapes and the roof of the building--avoiding for a moment the circle of hell they have been assigned.

The Yanks' starters couldn't even get in fights alone; their two bench-clearing brawls--one with the underperforming Orioles and one with a frustrated Toronto...
...first track fades away into a monotone distortion that is unexpectedly disturbed by a radio sample ripped directly from the airwaves of Boston's own WBCN, a moment early in the album that shows the unique and hilarious humor characteristic of Fatboy's vocal sampling. The dialogue between a DJ and a caller serves as an interesting intro to the album's first single, "The Rockafeller Skank." The caller requests a song by Fatboy Slim, who he claims is "the band of the nineties," yet he can't even name the track that he wants to hear, except the continuously...
