...battle is most intense in Charleston, W. Va. On July 15, Charleston will become the first U.S. city to be technically capable of offering all phone users a choice of long-distance carriers. In August, Alameda, Calif., will become the second city to offer the option. Up to now, only people with Touch-Tone or modified dial phones could use a long-distance company other than A T & T, a technical limitation that excluded the 40% with old-style rotary dials...
...television ads for A T & T, while Comic Joan Rivers weighs in for MCI. Companies are offering lures aplenty.

Meese's legal qualifications were hardly overwhelming: a 1958 graduate of the University of California Law School at Berkeley, he spent eight years as deputy district attorney for Alameda County, Calif.; worked briefly as a button-down attorney in private industry; and from 1978 to 1980 taught criminal law at the University of San Diego Law School. (As a professor and consultant, he earned less than $100,000 a year. His White House salary is $72,000.) But for Reagan...
