• holding that allegedly discriminatory policies constituted \the glue that binds the claims together\ even though each class member's claim of discrimination required individualized analysis
• ruling that a “company-wide practice is appropriate for class challenge . . . at least where the class at issue is affected in a common manner, such as where there is a uniform policy or process applied to all” (emphasis added)
• acknowledging that “[o]ur analysis is not free-form, but rather has been carefully scripted by [FRCP 23]”
• finding predominance when “the key question upon which all of the litigation rises or falls can be answered for every plaintiff”
