Another icon may bite the dust

The word on the street is that Lucent is in talks to be acquired by Alcatel. Lucent, which was spun off from the old AT&T, included Bell Labs, a leader in scientific innovation for decades. Alcatel is a French manufacturer of telephone equipment.

Will the jingoists try to derail this deal? After all, France did not support our Iraq adventure.
