Our understanding of the dis- tinction is that, while brickbats can be used to commit murder, it is not necessary to prohibit the construction of brick houses in order to prevent it. Anybody about to enter into a con- spiracy in restraint of trade naturally uses figures and statistics, but this does not imply that such statistics are responsible for such conspiracies.” WILLIAM L.
