Jean Henri Fabre , 1823-1915, French entomologist and author. He is known for his observations on insects and his study of their behavior. Fabre demonstrated the importance of instinct among insects. He taught until 1870 at Carpentras, Ajaccio, and Avignon, wrote works on popular science at Orange (1870-79), then retired to nearby Sérignan, where he devoted himself to entomological studies. Fabre worked almost exclusively from nature, and his exquisite literary style brought him as much renown as his observations. His principal work is Souvenirs entomologiques (10 vol., 1879-1907); English translations of selections from this work include The Life of the Spider (1912), The Marvels of the Insect World (1938), and The Insect World of J. Henri Fabre (ed. with commentary and biographical notes by E. W. Teale, 1949).

Microsoft legal battle could be a long fight To win antitrust cases, governments must prove monopoly status abused; The Justice Department vs. Microsoft To win its antitrust case against Microsoft Corp., the government must prove that the software giant illegally used its monopoly powers to stifle competition and hurt consumers. PROOF OF MONOPOLY: The government must first prove that Microsoft owns a monopoly in operating systems, the software that runs personal computers. Microsoft's Windows software currently runs 90% of the world's computers. But being a monopoly is not in itself an offense. ABUSING MONOPOLY POWER: If the government can prove that Microsoft monopolizes the operating system software business, the key question is whether the company used that power to muscle into the market for Internet browser software. In addition to squeezing competitors, it must be shown that Microsoft hurt consumers by limiting their choices. If it is proved that Microsoft used its leverage in operating systems to make PC manufacturers include its Internet Explorer browser, it would be a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. That law was founded in 1890 to stop corporate giants of that era from forming "trusts" to buy competitors, force others out of business and raise prices.
