Former Vice President Kamil E. Redmond '00 did a poor job keeping the council's attendance, says council Secretary Sterling P.A. Darling...
...ruling--to Congress and to the court of public opinion--and it seemed to be working. Senate majority leader Trent Lott called on fellow lawmakers to investigate whether the Administration had pushed the company too far. House majority leader Dick Armey (dubbed "MS Dick Armey" for his pro-Redmond sympathies) said he'd "rather break up the Justice Department" than Microsoft. Republicans put Al Gore on notice that they intend to make an issue of the case this fall, but Democrats seemed just as caught up as the G.O.P. was in Gatesmania.

"I thought there were maybe 10, 15 eggs," he says. It now gives instructions for cracking more than 1,500 software-based eggs. That's a heck of a lot of secret Narnias. And you'll never know how many more are out there until you start burrowing through that secret digital wardrobe...
