...interviewed a teenage tourist in San Diego, using the ARPANET network. Marc's access to ARPANET is as easy as pi. He dials the number of a local military-base computer, provided by a friend who works there, plugs his receiver into a $125 modem (a telephone computer hookup), and taps out a password on his $685 home terminal. A few seconds later Marc is into an ARPANET computer, 3,000 miles away on the M.I.T. campus.

...returned to A.J. Fletcher's WRAL. "The old man," says Bailey, "thought the sun rose and set right behind Jesse's left ear." WRAL, that hymn-and-hog-price 250-watter, was now Capitol Broadcasting, an empire embracing the radio outlet, Raleigh's first TV station and a hookup of about 70 rural stations called the Tobacco Radio Network. Fletcher piled three executive titles on Helms and let him do the station's editorials...
