...year, a hard-working freshman in the course handed in her take-home exam with a little blue whale drawn on the title page. The paper was well-written and thorough, and she received a straight...
THERE IS a brooding presence in Deadly Gambits. In page after page, it makes its presence vaguely felt. Strobe Talbott offers the reader glimpses, tantalizing hints of an influence we sense must be crucial to his story. But through hundreds of pages of well-written, exhaustively-researched work.

I did say (in remarks you took out of context) that the FCC had recognized that it would be a hardship on those who make minimum use of long-distance service if a flat-rate charge were instituted immediately. Taking that into account, I further said that "the FCC order...
