Dole Attacks Justice Department on Microsoft Probe: Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole has criticized the Justice Department’s antitrust division for “overzealous” conduct in its investigation of Microsoft Corp.’s proposed on-line service. “A company develops a new product. A product consumers want. But now the government steps in and is in effect attempting to dictate the terms on which that product can be marketed and sold,” Dole said. “Pinch me, but I thought we were still in America.” Dole’s comments, included in Wednesday’s Congressional Record, were distributed to reporters late Friday by a public relations firm representing Microsoft.
