WELCOME to the first issue of The Antitrust Source, we inaugurate a brand new ABA Section of Antitrust Law online magazine for news and ideas in antitrust.

We hope to be THE online antitrust source for the entire range of issues that "Antitrust" encompasses - domestic, foreign, global, civil, criminal, regulatory, economic, and consumer protection. The Antitrust Source will provide easy access to current developments in the law and literature and links to people and the stories behind them. We will offer an outlet for viewpoints along the whole spectrum of perspectives.

To achieve these goals, we will publish articles and features every other month. Send us your original comments, op eds., articles, letters, and ideas for consideration by our volunteer Editorial Board. All material submitted will be reviewed by our Board and edited for publication on www.antitrustsource.com. Submissions should be sent to antitrust@att.net (attention Tina Miller, Executive Editor).

To start us off in this first issue, we feature informal comments and questions and answers from DOJ Assistant Attorney General Charles James and FTC Chairman Tim Muris (The Enforcer Tapes). We also offer essays on the Microsoft case from three very different perspectives (The Microsoft Papers). Both features are available only on The Antitrust Source. We also introduce two of our recurring departments: Hot Links, a list of important and useful antitrust sites, and The Paper Trail, reports on useful law and economics works in progress.

Future issues will feature papers on current topics, links to essential antitrust resources, as well as interviews with federal and state enforcers. Send us topics you'd like to see covered and questions you'd like us to ask the enforcers (anonymously).

We thank our sponsor, the ABA Section of Antitrust Law, for supporting this inaugural issue and those to come. Thanks for visiting us. We look forward to hearing from you.
