Wall Street analysts expect Microsoft Corp. to post sizable increases in revenue and profit when it discloses results for its fourth quarter and 2004 fiscal year later this week. But given the timing, much of the focus will be on a different figure: the company's cash. Microsoft executives have said they will announce a plan for the cash pile -- which had grown to more than $56 billion at the end of the third quarter -- during or sometime before a meeting with analysts July 29 on Microsoft's Redmond campus. Whether that announcement comes this week or next, the cash is sure to be a central topic Thursday, when the company releases its financial results.

The Berger Affair

The Berger Affair 07/21/2004 11:16 AM

NY Times: A Kerry Adviser Leaves the Race Over Missing Documents. Samuel R. Berger, the former national security adviser to President Bill Clinton, resigned abruptly Tuesday as a senior adviser to John Kerry's presidential campaign after the disclosure that he had improperly removed classified material on terrorism from a secure government reading room last year. The decision came after Mr. Berger endured a day of furious criticism from Republican leaders, who accused him of breaching national security and possibly passing classified material to Mr. Kerry's campaign. Democrats, in turn, accused the Bush administration of leaking word of an F.B.I. investigation of Mr. Berger as a way of diverting attention from the release of the Sept. 11 commission's final report Thursday.

Plainly, Berger screwed up in a serious way here. The acts he has acknowledged are improper at the very least, and perhaps much worse than that. Maybe we'll know one of these days when the investigation concludes. Almost equally plainly, someone in the Bush administration or campaign illegally leaked word of the investigation just in time to start a political potboiler. The timing cannot be coincidental. The 9/11 commission's report, harshly critical of both the Clinton and Bush administrations' anti-terrorism policies, is being issued this week. And next week comes the Democratic convention in Boston. The Republicans are predictably claiming (among other things) a coverup, even though the 9/11 commission staff has been widely quoted as saying the commission had the documents in question. USA Today reports, for example: "There is no indication that Berger's action affected the 9/11 commission's work; a spokesman for the panel said Tuesday that the classified papers — some of which are still missing — were copies of original documents." The most puzzling aspect of this, as Josh Marshall correctly notes, is Berger's political tone-deafness. Marshall asks: "Why didn't Sandy Berger step aside from his advisory position for John Kerry some time ago?" Good question.
