That Judge Jackson crossed some sort of a line is hard to dispute. Buried in a footnote of World War 3.0, one of several new books about the Microsoft antitrust case, is the startling acknowledgment that Jackson granted author Ken Auletta "about 10 hours of taped interviews." That's a lot of time for a reporter to get out of any source, much less one bound by the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges to avoid commenting on pending cases.

A while back I was talking to an assistant coach about a big guy who's going to Ohio State right now [6'11 center Ken Johnson]. He's all-Big Ten, and he was this close to coming to Harvard...

With his regulars (comedian Bob Burns, announcer Ken Carpenter, Jimmy Dorsey's band and then John Scott Trotter's) and a guest list of movie folk, jazzmen and classical musicians, Crosby promoted an air of at-home geniality, ad-lib bon-vivance - almost all of it scripted by Carroll Carroll. The writer shaped and sharpened (that is to say, softened) Crosby's public personality, as other scripters would do in the films. Giddins says Carroll allowed "Bing...
