Bob Dole keeping busy: By MICHAEL SCHROEDER and BRYAN GRULEY Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WASHINGTON -- Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole has been sending letters and calling companies seeking their support in an expanding campaign by Microsoft Corp.'s rivals to curb its entrance into new Internet businesses. Mr. Dole is part of a nascent but growing lobbying effort that goes far beyond issues raised by the Justice Department's antitrust case against Microsoft. While competitors and groups fearful of Microsoft's growing Internet influence may be sympathetic to anti-Microsoft forces, many are reluctant to join a public campaign. Mr. Dole is representing several companies, including Microsoft computer rivals Netscape Communications Corp. and Sun Microsystems Corp., and Sabre Group Holdings Inc., a Dallas-based airlines reservation system that faces competition from Microsoft. Netscape would confirm only that it is represented by Mr. Dole's Washington law firm, Verner Liipfert Bernhard McPherson & Hand. Sabre declined to comment. Representatives for Sun Microsystems couldn't be reached. Bill, get that donation in NOW!!!!
