So, Bill, Microsoft is Y2K compliant, and Nader is a money grubbing lawyer. Got any other definitive opinions off the top of your head? Want to take about posturing for money there was a great piece in the NYT magazine a couple years back about Charles Murray of The Bell Curve fame. Not only was he flying around the country first class, he was pulling down big bucks salaries from right wing think tanks, whose ideology his "research" just happened to support. Murray was actually sort of amusing about the whole thing, calling his work "political pornography" or something like that. On the education thing, I'd say Jonathan Kozol is a good antidote to Murray, bleeding heart that I am. As to Nader, I wasn't predisposed to be impressed by him, but he seemed to come up to speed on Microsoft pretty fast. Like with Hatch, I judge him by what I read, and what I read by Nader was pretty well thought out and coherent. As opposed to, say, the other Bill's Slate diaries, and the various "Chrysler car radio" style antitrust defense lines. The quotes from Maritz and Herbold on the matter seem much more believable, but that's just my bias. Cheers, Dan.
