...thing, failing to pay U.N. dues is actually costing the U.S. more money in the long run by jeopardizing efforts to reduce the U.S. share of the U.N. peacekeeping tab from 30% to 25%. (The U.S. expects a $320 million bill this year.) "Countries would have been willing to lower the U.S. portion," says U.N. information officer Jessica Jiji, "if they had paid their dues." And if the U.S. loses its General Assembly vote, it may also forfeit its moral strength in the battle to restrain the growth of the U.N. budget. Says U.N.

Intel staved off an antitrust suit of its own earlier this year by striking a quiet deal with the Federal Trade Commission in which it agreed to share more information about its processors with other companies. But despite a few stabs at working it out--including a round of quiet talks during the trial--Microsoft and Justice haven't been able to get started. The sharpness of last week's ruling could force both parties...
