[PEN-L:699] quotations from chairman Bill

[James Devine <jdevine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE:>A week and a half into the Microsoft trial and a paper has
finally done a piece on the oddity of Bill Gates not testifying in person.
Even though he is the personification of the company, an inside WP story
observes that defense lawyers might have viewed him as so "prickly and
combustible" as to undermine his own case. The paper quotes one lawyer who
once questioned the world's richest man live: "At one point he just started
screaming, saying that what the [FTC] staff was doing to his company was
socialistic....[T]hen he got angrier and called it communistic." <
