• interpreting the requirement that the arbitrator issue a definite award “to mean (much as in the case of injunctions, FED. R. CIV. P. 65(d)) that the award is sufficiently clear and specific to be enforced should it be confirmed by the district court and thus made judicially enforceable”
• “neither error nor clear error nor even gross error is a ground for vacating an award”
• “We take ‘mutual’ and ‘final’ to mean that the arbitrators must have resolved the entire dispute (to the extent arbitrable) that had been submitted to them . . . .”
• “[N]either error nor clear error nor even gross error is a ground for vacating an award[;] if the district judge is satisfied that the arbitrators resolved the entire dispute and can figure out what that resolution is, he must confirm the award”
