The 1/4/99 Wall Street Journal reported that the case was settled, with
New Waste Management agreeing to spin off Eastern's bid to another hauler.
Not stated is whether the spin off will to a truely independent hauler or
to one of the haulers which has foreshadowed a tendency to cooperate at
increasing margins instead of competing for greater market share.
