...steal unfamous authors' ideas with impunity; that skinheads, rabbis and lawyers from the A.C.L.U. can grouse together affably in the greenroom about who ate up all the bagels before going out to scream at one another on a TV talk show. These people all know that what they share--the media's avid gaze--sets them apart from the multitudes it ignores while creating a bond among the favored that is impenetrable to the anonymous, and is, in various ways, dangerous to all concerned...

...that was just one of a number of highly embarrassing verbal contortions played for the benefit of the federal courthouse Monday. Confronted with one of his own mails in which he describes enhanced "browser share" as Microsoft's "No. 1 mission," Gates shot back: "We didn't mean browser share, we meant browser usage." Bill Clinton would be proud. Clinton, of course, didn't have to face a single judge with arbitrary power. Thomas Penfield Jackson, the man who will determine Microsoft's fate, was spotted chuckling and shaking his head as Gates tied himself in knots trying...
