[ NNSquad ] Re: Two NN Events Tomorrow (Well, Today)

[Seth Johnson <seth.johnson@RealMeasures.dyndns.org>]

She nailed it.  Haven't seen all the testimony, but Crawford frames it
exactly right.  Her initial statement starts at 46 minutes in. 
Haven't seen the rest, including the back-and-forth, as I am living in
a dialup universe . . .

The link originally provided was dysfunctional throughout the hearing
(and if you try to break the URL opaqueness barrier, that link
actually appears to be an old link to something in February last
year).

But there's an archive link up now that works:

> http://judiciary.edgeboss.net/real/judiciary/full/antitrust031108.smi

. . . which works for me when I hack the extension:

> http://judiciary.edgeboss.net/real/judiciary/full/antitrust031108.ram

This is available off the hearing's dedicated page:
