Despite the troubles, the two sides were close to bridging their differences shortly before the deal blew up. "I talked to John as late as Monday night," says John Hendricks, chairman of Discovery Communications, which operates the Discovery Channel and Learning Channel. "At that point the merger was on. There was some relief in his voice that they had finally arrived at a deal." The broken alliance may indeed slow the construction of a nationwide information system, but very few experts expect that it will stop it.

...based company with 1.1 million cable subscribers, last week halted plans for a $125 million public offering in the wake of the FCC order. Falcon , had planned to use the funds to replace 2,300 miles of conventional wire with fiber-optic cable that could double its current 40-channel capacity.

Though spouting stentorian anti-deficit rhetoric, the pro-amendment forces astutely realize that sometimes deficit spending is necessary and thus have stipulated that Congress could violate its new iron-clad rule by a three-fifths majority. Like the Gramm-Rudman bill that came before it, the Balanced Budget Amendment...
