“A federal judge yesterday approved a massive giveaway of free makeup and perfume at cosmetics counters across the country as part of the settlement of an antitrust lawsuit against cosmetics makers and department stores…. She also awarded $24 million in attorney’s fees to plaintiffs’ lawyers involved in the case.” (Josh Gerstein, “Judge Approves Cosmetics Settlement”, New York Sun, Mar. 9). For earlier coverage of the controversial settlement, see Jul. 21, 2003, Apr. 14, May 19, and Dec. 3, 2004, and Jan. 14, 2005.
