...Research Institute visualize mechanical arms getting out the preselected food, cooking and serving it. Similarly programmed household robots would wash dishes, dispose of the garbage (onto a conveyer belt moving under the street), vacuum rugs, wash windows, cut the grass.

One reason: 66 public bodies and private corporations, from Aeronautical Radio Inc. to Xerox, have asked to be heard. In the end, the outcome could well be resolved as much by stamina as strategy-and Ma Bell has proved quite resilient over the years. The last time the FCC took her on for a big fight was in 1934. Those hearings stretched on so interminably that most of the issues were either settled by negotiation or simply forgotten...
