,----[ Quote ]
| As Google gets bigger and the pots of cash grow, so the firm needs 
| to increase its political influence. As it buys up companies from 
| around the world and integrates them into its machine, its activities 
| are bound to attract the close eye of Washington, and a public 
| policy department is sure to serve as a focus for 'interaction' 
| between Google and the government.
