Telephone companies look with envy at the cable-television business. But they are barred from offering cable service because regulators have feared that the phone companies' financial clout and network of lines would give them an unfair advantage over independent operators who had to install their own wiring.

When she is arrested and refuses to look back as her child cries, "Mommy, don't go," the viewer knows it is only because she refuses to show she can be beaten. Arch in the interrogation scenes, convincing as a professional and warm in relations with family members, Hershey's Roth only marginally overdoses on the emotional...
