  There are some obvious problems with this data.

  For example, I found [a Wikipedia article about U.S. antitrust law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law).

+ I looked up the case (American Medical Association v. United States, 317 U.S. 519 (1943)) to see what the deal was.
324
