Clarence Gamble later wrote in a memo, "There is great danger that we will fail because the Negroes think it a plan for extermination. Hence let's appear to let the coloured...
...successive document dump, the guests remain true to character, such as it is, with some texture added. There's lots of texture in the latest data dump. For example, Linda Tripp, as far back as 1994, was the employee from hell. Her new supervisor at the Pentagon wrote a memo noting how disruptive her "best defense is a good offense" tactic was; how she complained about her duties, her office, her parking space; how she was nasty to her co-workers and sent out a constant barrage of e-mail.

The Microsoft CEO was "livid" about certain software developments at the Intel Architecture Lab (IAL), according to an internal memo; the thought of the chipmaker meddling in multimedia and Java programs that would conflict with Microsoft's Windows ambitions for the Net apparently stuck in his craw. "Gates didn't want IAL's 750 engineers interfering with his plans for domination of the PC industry" and "made vague threats about...
