On KYW news-radio this morning (1060 AM, in Philadelphia, Pa.)  came
word that due to a power outage around 4:30 this morning (Eastern
time), directory assistance for Phila., other parts of (southeastern?)
Pa., and Delaware (how much?) was out except for emergency requests
which were done manually.  The reason: the computer which provides the
data was down.
