November 2004 -- Last month, I reported on freedom around the world. Now, two reports have surfaced evaluating economic freedom in the U.S. states. The larger of the two—the U.S. Economic Freedom Index: 2004 Report—is a 183-page monograph from the Pacific Research Institute (PRI). The other—Economic Freedom of North America: 2004 Annual Report—is from the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute (in conjunction with the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis) and also includes evaluations of Canadian provinces.

That’s the way it continued all along. ”And now that he’s been acquitted of doing business without a license, he’s planning to continue doing what he’s been doing—and to appeal the one charge of which he was convicted, disobeying a “holding order.”

“The absurdity of its premise — that Dow could escape liability for an illegal antitrust conspiracy because plaintiffs alleged a longer conspiracy than found by the jury — convinces the court that it should not [let Dow off the hook.] ”So said U.S. District Judge John W. Lungstrum, in the only quote on the issue in this Bloomberg report, and at first read it sounds obviously right. Whatever one may think of antitrust law, surely a $1.2 billion illegal conspiracy doesn’t become legal just because the plaintiffs who sued over it were off on the dates. (The plaintiffs said the conspiracy ran from 1999 through 2003; the jury apparently put the start date in 2000.) If you’re accused of killing your wife on a Friday, you shouldn’t get off just because the jury said you did it that Saturday instead.
