It teetered last week when AT&T, Sprint, MCI and nearly 500 other long-distance carriers bitterly challenged the provisions, added late in the game, that would permit the Baby Bells to jump into long-distance service before substantial competition arrived on the local level. Furious representatives of the long-distance industry swung from supporting the House bill to actively lobbying against it.

Koernke launched into a furious self-taught course on the nefariousness of the Federal Government. He began reading more newspapers. "But," says Nancy, "it was 'read between the lines.'" He searched out books by conspiracy theorists and became suddenly aware of a community of fellow searchers. "People that I baby-sat for," says Nancy.
