...help the parties find ways of coexisting, the Bush administration may be inclined to be a more distant participant in the peace process, emphasizing the need to maintain stability. The new administration may remember that the Oslo Accord took shape during the last Bush administration, with very little direct involvement by the U.S. And, of course, wider U.S. interests in the region from oil prices to Iraq policy require that Washington do some work in rebuilding relations with moderate Arab regimes. Which may mean the Bush campaign promise to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem may be destined...
Back then, the "biggest case" was an arcane smackdown between two huge oil companies, Pennzoil and Texaco. This year his efforts have had direct, determinative impact on the antitrust case against Microsoft, in which he represented the U.S. government; the half-billion-dollar settlement of a suit by his art-buyer clients against the world's two leading art-auction companies, Sotheby's and Christie's; the essential meaning of copyright on the Internet, which he is trying to establish on behalf of the music website Napster; and, supremely, the Tallahassee passion play.

But after harsh police action against Israeli-Arabs protesting in support of Palestinians earlier this year, Barak will...
...turns out all that paranoia may have been for naught: According to two studies released this week, there does not appear to be any direct causative link between cell phone use and the development of brain tumors - no matter how extensive the phone use may be. "We found that regardless of how frequently the phones were used per month or how many years the phones were used, there wasn't any relationship with the development of brain cancer," Joshua Muscat, chief author of the study, said Wednesday. The first report, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association...
