Re: Freedom Holdings v. Spitzer, the antitrust challenge to the tobacco settlement (May 11): another case to watch is described here (scroll down). It's a class action on behalf of California residents who bought tobacco in that state from April 2000 to the present, and it charges that tobacco companies and other unnamed defendants have engaged in unlawful price-fixing and market-sharing by means of the 1998 master tobacco settlement. I really hope the plaintiff's attorneys know what they're doing in this case. This could be a show stopper. Keep it up! -- Mike Carney, Eagle River, Alaska
