Prosecutor Gerrie Nel, in cross-examining Pistorius for a second day, doubted the Olympian's honesty. It goes to the heart of the case. Nel asserted that the double-amputee runner wouldn't "accept responsibility for anything" and reacted incredulously to Pistorius' explanation of why a gun he was handling went off under a table in a packed restaurant, for which he was charged with firing a gun in public without good reason. Pistorius said a friend's pistol, a Glock, went off while he was holding it but insisted that he hadn't pulled the trigger....

Microsoft’s Windows holds monopoly power in the market for operating systems. After a 78-day trial, the federal court found that Microsoft repeatedly broke the antitrust laws both to maintain its Windows monopoly and to extend it to the market for Internet browsers. For Microsoft, stifling the threat posed by Netscape’s browser was critically important, precisely because the browser had the potential to become an alternative platform for software applications that could erode Microsoft’s operating-system monopoly....

But after a few minutes he stopped. “Whew,” he remarked. “Think what this is going to feel like when I’m 70.” A pause, and then… “My God. That’s only a couple of years away. I’m almost 70. Seventy.” That’s where we are now. He’s 66; I’m on my way to 60. The epoch that was once so far in the future, that time when we’re going to be old, is more or less here....
