That would be good old General Electric. They received an enormous
settlement from the U.S. about 10 years ago for daring to bomb their
Messerschmitt plant. I wonder if it was in litigation for the full 40 years?

On another note, I find that if I slightly rearrange the anagram of
"Gravity's Rainbow" that I posted yesterday, it reads "V In A Big War
Story". This is a little too weird.
