["B.G. Sloan" <bgsloan2@yahoo.com>]

According to the NY Times:

"The Justice Department has begun an inquiry into the antitrust 
implications of Google's settlement with authors and publishers 
over its Google Book Search service, two people briefed on the 
matter said Tuesday...The inquiry does not necessarily mean that 
the department will oppose the settlement...But it suggests that 
some of the concerns raised by critics...have resonated with the 
Justice Department."
