...Corp. will begin submitting evidence to refute U.S. Justice Department claims that the company has "monopolized or attempted to monopolize" the general purpose digital-computer market.

At a pretrial hearing in 1973, U.S. Judge David Edelstein doggedly forecast that he would "prove the legal system is so advanced and so so phisticated that there is no case that's unmanageable." The verdict on that...
...took more than six years, during which a special crew had to assemble six sets of 60,000 key pages (two sets each for the court, IBM and the Government) and wound up delaying the trial for months when they bollixed the copying and collating.

Figuring that other towns might be equally desperate for doctors, Edelstein and Jackson wrote to 134 communities to suggest similar arrangements...
