...Compaq, for instance--was clearly to drive up the market share of Microsoft's Explorer at the expense of front runner Navigator's. Thus, he felt, those deals constituted tying. No, they don't, Gates shot back; Explorer is as much an integrated part of the operating system as type fonts or file-system managers. Months later, the battle is still being waged in appeals court; when a three-judge panel ruled last week that an injunction filed against Windows 95 does not apply to Win 98, Klein found himself backed into a corner. And so he struck...
...serial plagiarist is a familiar journalistic type, but the serial fabulist is rare. Glass concocted story after story and slipped them all past his editors and fact checkers, often buttressing his claims with forged notes and interview transcripts and other bogus documents. His work was challenged from time to time--a March 1997 account of a cocaine-fueled orgy at a young-conservatives conference was hooted at loudly--but his career sailed on, with free-lance contracts from a fistful of magazines...

Each claims to embody a type of politics that is not just a poll-driven centrism but a "third way," a favorite Blair slogan and a phrase that Clinton highlighted in this year's State of the Union message. "Both governments have to react to challenges like globalization and better education for workers, and we have similar perspectives on what's needed," says White House aide Sidney Blumenthal, who organizes the meetings with his British counterpart, David Miliband, Blair's policy chief...
