"Is it really possible that when Microsoft set out to market a "Linux
killer" last November it began to get itself into more legal difficulty than
ever before? And could it blow up into a political scandal as well? "

"The Senate Judiciary Committee made much the same point, stating that
"Microsoft has made no secret of the political influence it has sought to
create during this trial." The committee suggested that is was concerned
that Microsoft had engaged in precisely the sort of secret lobbying of
Justice Department officials that the Tunney Act was designed to expose."
