- In 1956 both AT&T and IBM separately settled antitrust suits with consent
- decrees. I've been able to find short articles about these in publications
- like Business Week and Fortune; but I'd like to find the text of the
- agreements, or better yet a translation from legalese into English. Our
- library has a lot of law books but I don't know how to navigate them,
- since they don't seem to have much in the way of indexes. I asked a
- reference librarian but she didn't seem to know much about finding
- things in there either - she pointed me to an index volume, which was
- indexed by I guess the name of the case, but there are pages of U.S. vs. IBM
- in the index, with no dates. Help anyone?
