...keep things upbeat at last week's press conference--called to announce that one of America's oldest and most revered institutions was splitting into four companies. AT&T CEO Michael Armstrong told a roomful of reporters that his own aunt could still sleep easily putting her money in Ma Bell and living off the dividends. Lower-level Bellheads even joked about the career opportunities the split would create. "You always wanted to run your own company," one quipped to another. "Now you're going to get the chance...
...Wall Street wasn't smiling at this cheerful admission that Armstrong's strategy to turn Ma Bell into a vertically integrated communications giant had failed utterly. After last Wednesday's announcement, AT&T stock plunged 13%, to its lowest level in a decade. And it tumbled 5.5% more by week's end.

George, visiting his father in jail, says, "I love you so much, sometimes I can't even breathe." Buddy's ma has trouble sleeping, so he lullabies her with favorite tunes ("She likes the theme to Blazing Saddles"). George's uncle Damascus (Eddie Rouse) is a violent man whose fear of dogs impels him to kill George's treasured stray. From guilt and love, he fashions a cap out of the dead...
