Abstract
This paper, written for a centennial commemoration of the founding of the U.S. Federal Trade Commision, reviews the history of two major cases tackling one of the most difficult problems in U.S. antitrust jurisprudence: the tetracycline case of the 1950s and 1960s and the suit against four (eventually three) breakfast cereal manufacturers in the 1970s.
