Its penchant for spying is now exposed, if not acknowledged, yet so far it's escaped prosecution and harsh class action suit judgments by admitting no wrongdoing, and agreeing to remove improperly obtained documents from its files. Henceforth, it promised:

-- to refrain from seeking non-public information;

-- contribute $25,000 to a Hate Crimes Fund;

-- another $25,000 for a public school course; and

-- $25,000 more to a fund for improving relations among Jews, Blacks, and other minorities.
