Why the world's most famous capitalist hated the free market

Article Abstract:

There are considerable similarities between Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who is currently facing antitrust action from the US Justice Dept, and John D Rockefeller Sr, founder of Standard Oil. It was largely because of Rockefeller's market domination that the Sherman Antitrust Act came into being in 1890. Both men discovered at an early age an element that was to have a significant impact on society. Rockefeller believed that his achievements were ultimately benefiting society, and in this way was able to justify the cruelty of his methods.

Article Abstract:

There are rumours that Bob Woodward, who played a role in revealing Richard Nixon's involvement in the Watergate scandal, is planning to reveal details of a relationship between President Bill Clinton and a White House intern other than Monica Lewinsky, with whom Clinton has already admitted having an affair. The White House has strongly denied a second affair, and Woodward himself has stated that he will not be making any such revelation. Intense media interest in this issue could bring a negative reaction against the media.
