...antitrust concerns are twofold. First, there's the so-called horizontal impact, which refers to when a company buys out a rival to eliminate competition. In this case, the merger will stop Live Nation's recently launched ticketing company from cutting in on Ticketmaster's turf. Live Nation dumped its ticketing contract with Ticketmaster in January after signing a 10-year contract to license ticketing software from Europe's CTS Eventim to run its own ticketing business. The move took a toll on Ticketmaster, which saw its profits dive 78% in the first quarter, partly due to the lost Live...

There is no subject which Phillips avoids as he seeks a release of his many thoughts rooted in retrospective themes. The challenge that ”Speak Low” presents is twofold.

"The West sees it as saber-rattling, but for Russia it is about retaking what it sees as its rightful position in the world," says Guy Anderson, editor of Jane's World Defence Industry...
...likely the White House shares this view, even though in public it has harped on getting the North Koreans back to the six-party format. This is probably no longer possible, after Pyongyang's announcement yesterday. So the trick for Obama now is twofold. He must figure out how much time to let pass before trying to re-engage the North. (Even before the April 5 launch, Obama's special envoy, Stephen Bosworth, talked of letting the "dust from the missile [test] settle.") Then Obama must decide what to say to Pyongyang whenever the moment of reaching out arrives...
