(Among anchormen only David Brinkley with his wry sanity brought any verbal distinction.) Politicians can be corny, boring or strident, but sometimes wholehearted, amusing or touching.

A T & T's share of the market is 61%, with the new regional companies and non-Bell independents handling an additional 32%. MCI's revenues doubled annually between 1980 and 1983, going from $144 million to $1 billion. In that same period, profits mushroomed from $13 million to $171 million. Yet its share of the long-distance market is only 3.5%, 1.3 million residential customers and 300,000 business clients. Sprint has less than a 2% share...
