the lawsuit challenges anheuser-busch inbev's attempt to buy 50% of mexico's grupo modelo that it doesn'tlready own. abi is the ruler of the u.s. beer market, no doubt. modelo is ranked third. the justice department believes that the merger could create a beer monopoly. if a abi buys their direct competitor, it could easily change market forces and raise the prices of beer everywhere. it's estimated that if the deal goes through, a six-pack could end up costing 25 to 50 cents more. sure, now that doesn't sound like a whole heck of a lot. but when you start adding it up, it could cost beer drinkers in this country billions of dollars. now, they haven't gone after wall street, but when you crack open that cool one on super bowl sunday, know that the president of the united states and the justice department, well, i tell you what, they are looking out for you for more beers. and as for the game, i'm just not high on this one, the 49ers and the ravens. i've been mad at baltimore ever since the colts left. i grew up thinking johnny unitas was the greatest of all time. when the 49ers bill walsh

anheuser-busch and grupo modelo moved closer to their $20 billion beer merger. warren buffett announced it's buying food giant heinz. and if u.s. regulators allow it, usair will take over bankrupt american airlines creating the world's biggest airline in the process. that deal is good for investors, but passengers worry airfares will shoot up as competition disapears. but take a look at this. just after airline deregulation came into effect, there were 20 major airlines in the united states. by 1990, there were only 12 major airlines in operation. today just seven and with "uss -- usair and american merging we'll be down six. usair and american don't have a lot of overlapping routes or hubs. in the end, there will only be about out routes out of the 9,000 or so that will be served by one airline. they may see fares go up. but look at this. since 1979, prices for an average domestic economy airfare have dropped from $579 then to $365 now, though they have started to tick up a little bit lately. so much for that myth that merging airlines causes prices to go up. t
