Meanwhile, I have put my rebellion - my version of going postal - on hold, as the Army has acceeded to most of my demands. Suddenly, the quartermaster's office came unclogged and we had toilet paper and paper towels in the latrine (no small thing). And on Monday, the platoon was at last outfitted in our camos - camouflage - and big black boots. Make no mistake, this finally is very cool stuff, especially the jackets and gloves. Hallelujah!

But you can feel these beats coming...

...just the Feds who are on Microsoft's case. Nineteen state attorneys general have joined Justice's suit, so the software giant's lobbying strategies are expanding. Microsoft's tactics range from hiring close pals of several A.G.s to sending a key official to speak to a small town's Chamber of Commerce. State officials tell TIME that the company is also helping fund a new Republican attorneys-general group in Washington...
