But on fateful February 1st, when Temple Bar anointed its first patrons, the shadows of social ostracism were lifted--and in its place a hush fell over the scenic quadrangle.

He seems more disposed to side with Lee than with Ebbers, who shattered BT's dream of acquiring all of MCI. Lee and Roberts, both engineers, have a common bond, while the defiantly nontechnical Ebbers is a wildcatter who built WorldCom into the fourth largest U.S. long-distance company through a relentless series of deals. "Bernie Ebbers wasn't our type," sniffs an MCI insider...
