High-stakes fight over soybeans at high court	19.2.2013	azcentral.com \| business
WASHINGTON -- Vernon Hugh Bowman seems comfortable with the old way of doing things, right down to the rotary-dial telephone he said he was using in a conference call with reporters. But the 75-year-old Indiana farmer figured out a way to benefit from a high-technology product -- soybeans that are resistant to weed-killers -- without always paying the high price that such genetically engineered seeds typically bring. In so doing, he ignited a legal fight with seed-giant Monsanto Co. that has now come before the Supreme Court, with arguments taking place Tuesday.

Hatch right on online	26.1.2012	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Jan 26, 2012 01:01AM MDT I am thrilled that Sen.

Hatch’s request of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to delay the vote was a g... ...

By JIM ABRAMS The Associated Press Published Jan 20, 2012 10:05PM MDT Washington • Caving to a massive campaign by Internet services and their millions of users, Congress indefinitely postponed legislation Friday to stop online piracy of movies and music costing U.S. companies billions of dollars every year.
