There’s 50-50 chance DirecTV-EchoStar merger will be blocked by antitrust regulators, said former Justice Dept. Antitrust Div. Chief Don Baker. Baker, who worked as staffer 1966-1975, was appointed antitrust chief by President Ford in 1976, now is partner in Baker & Miller antitrust law firm. “Clearly there are a couple of different issues,” Baker told us. He and other attorneys said EchoStar faced uphill regulatory battle, but they said hiring of antitrust lawyer David Boies should help. Former DoJ telecom legal expert Don Russell now is top EchoStar lawyer.

Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.
Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").
Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.
Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).
Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").
Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
