The buyout creates a behemoth with $37 billion in revenues that trails only the $78 billion IBM. "In the early...

...justify it. Addressing the El Nino Community Preparedness Summit in Santa Monica, Calif., last month, Gore was quite unwilling to let El Nino speak for itself. After describing in lurid detail its predicted effects, he went into the presumed effects of global warming. Then, having set the trap, he sprang it: "While there is no definite link between El Ninos and overall climate change," he said (referring to global warming), "it is worth looking at recent patterns"--which he then presented so as to suggest precisely such a linkage...
