And you get the feeling that in all his years as a reporter The Times never let Salisbury try out any metaphors.

Legal fights started by small banking interests in Illinois, Colorado and elsewhere will delay the spread of electronic banking, but probably not stop it. Currency Comptroller Smith has already ruled that terminals located within 50 miles of a bank should not legally be considered branches.
