Don't remember which exactly of the Adam Smith famous quotes Klein
used. My recollection is it was the one about businessmen meeting . . .
Might not target Microsoft all that precisely's the only problem.
My interest was mainly the name dropping. Klein probably has an
econcomics degree along with a law one to go with the antitrust job.
