...agreement hinged on the removal of the pricing provision from the Senate bill. Said Pressler: "At no time during our conversation did I indicate that any specific action by Time Warner would result in deletion of the program-access provisions...[That] would be wrong, if not illegal.

When two separate polls indicate that more than 80 percent of students oppose randomization, the administration's actions can only be called cynical and cowardly...
