One Step Non SUSY Unification
We show that it is possible to achieve one step gauge coupling unification in
a general class of non supersymmetric models which at low energies have only
the standard particle content and extra Higgs fields doublets. The constraints
are the experimental values of , and
at , and the lower bounds for FCNC and proton decay rates. Specific
example are pointed out.Comment: 10 pages, Latex file,, uses epsf style, Two Postscript figures

What Consensus? Ideology, Politics and Elections Still Matter
This article, which was prepared for an ABA Antitrust Section Panel, discusses the role of ideology and politics in antitrust enforcement and the impact of elections in the last twenty year on enforcement and policy at the federal antitrust agencies. The article explains the differences in antitrust ideologies and their impact on policy preferences. The article then uses a database of civil non-merger complaints by the DOJ and FTC over the last three Presidential administrations to analyze changes in the number, type and other characteristics of antitrust enforcement. It also discusses change in vertical merger enforcement and other antirust policies such as amicus briefs, reports and guidelines. The article concludes that elections do matter and that the impact of elections on the DOJ and FTC has differed significantly
