...refuse to say a word. There are times, Clinton confidants say, when the President fantasizes about marching down to the grand jury and saying, "Go ahead. Take your best shot." But that is pure swagger: his lawyers and the President know this must never happen, because they have spun out all the elaborate scenarios for how this drama might play out and concluded that Clinton has everything to lose by talking and everything to gain by his silence. The more he defies Starr, the more he confounds the whole legal process, the more likely it is that the battle will...

Synergy may be the corporate watchword of the '90s, and Microsoft would lose some of that. But the history of corporate breakups is encouraging. The various pieces spun off from the original AT&T have, if figured as one, turned in consistent, market-beating returns. Forced to grow independently, the pieces of Microsoft would do no less...
