The prelude to this shindig was some chitchat at a PRC 50th anniversary party in Tienanmen Square. Nina  Munk's book Fools Rush In is about this event and that book includes speculation that one of the forces  behind this event was the murder of one this event's leader's sons by Corey Arthur. In its aftermath, potential  clients were scared off by comments like "What we like to do to a competitor that is damaged is drive the  knife in their heart." It was preceded by one participant's failed Pathfinder effort. During the late stages of  this happening, one party made an illegal deal with PurchasePro.com, which later lead to a major accounting  scandal. Many executives who were originally based in Dulles were angered at having to move to New York  because of this. Jerry Levin was made CEO of the product of this event. One motivation for this action was access to  residential cable lines. This was the largest merger in U.S. History and also one of the worst. The two leaders of this  event had previously met at a White House screening of You've Got Mail, a movie that was produced by one  participant in this merger and titled after a sound-clip made by the other. For 10 points, name this disastrous merger  of a media company and an ISP.
