...Windows and a competitor, Unix, and vice versa) says Microsoft withheld the NT code to keep Bristol -- and Unix programmers -- out of the software game now dominated by Windows-viable products. Microsoft, unsurprisingly, denies the claim. But after Gates pulled the rug out from under his own defense team Thursday in Washington with an apparently contradictory piece in Newsweek, don't expect to see Gates appearing for the defense.

That National Commission on Character Development the Senate approved on Wednesday seemed aimed at some other problem on some other planet. Even as T.J. Solomon was loading his weapons, even as President Clinton was preparing to fly out to Littleton to mark the one-month anniversary of the massacre, the Senate was debating a juvenile-crime bill. Then the bulletins flashed across TV screens, we were back in the helicopter over yet another school, more running children, fluttering yellow crime tape, flushed sheriffs, nodding...
