...just conveying my understanding of the deeply felt religious perspectives that are timeless. I struggle to put those in a context that makes sense for callers. What the brilliant rabbis have done is take certain laws from the Bible and values of responsibility and honor and apply them to modern ideas. I struggle to do the same - understand the religious Scriptures and apply them to the dilemmas we have today...

...company must argue that the government and the judge put the wrong spin on the stuff that's already in the record. This is familiar territory for Microsoft, which has long insisted that all those venomous e-mails and extracts from Gates' videotaped deposition were taken out of context. For example, Microsoft will claim that its brutal campaign against Netscape during the browser wars was ultimately benign, not anticompetitive; both sides issued rapid-fire improvements to their Web browsers, millions of programs were distributed for free, and the Internet revolution continued apace...
