Daris J. Davis, the other man charged with rape in the Business School incident, was sentenced to 12 to 15 years imprisonment at MCI Walpole State Penitentiary, after pleading guilty at Suffolk Superior Court...
...hand, the company's privileged monopoly status is under attack in the courts by the Justice Department as well as some 37 private companies, which are pressing their own antitrust suits against Bell. In June, upstart little MCI of Washington, D.C. (sales: $144 million annually), won a staggering $1.8 billion in damages from a federal court in Chicago after charging that A T & T had conspired to block its entry into the long-distance telephone market. Now MCI is selling its phone service in such leading markets as New York City, Houston and San Diego. The company...
...lives and on their abilities to adapt constructively to our larger society. In the light of the chronic misery that his system propagates, Commissioner Hall's argument for immediate prisons construction is an abominable shame. Recently disclosed Mass.

Even within the deceptive immediacy of Commissioner Hall's own argument, the construction of four new lock-ups, whose five...
...static on the phone companies' line. One of them: the so-called specialized common carriers-non-Bell communications companies that grew out of a 1959 FCC decision opening a new spectrum of microwave channels to private business.

The bill, by ruling out "wasteful or unnecessary duplication of communications lines," would apparently ban any new SCCs and would probably throw existing ones off the air when their...
What really exasperates Bell executives is that MCI plans to plug its long-distance customers into Bell's local systems. An MCI client in New York will be able to list and use a Chicago telephone number without having an office there. He could call any number in Chicago, and Chicagoans could call him in New York with Bell collecting only for the local service. AT&T refused to provide that service, so MCI petitioned the federal district court in Philadelphia, and won. Had MCI lost, AT&T could have nipped the growing competition in the bud: fewer clients...
