(from the San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday August 4, 1985)

WASHINGTON - A federal judge said he has changed his mind and wants
the Bell System put back the way it used to be.  A parade of witnesses has
testified to abuses since the break-up, ranging from threats and harassment
when they couldn't decide which long-distance carrier to use, to a Kansas widow
with $9 in phone charges and a bill 113 pages long that a team of federal 
auditors couldn't understand.


					(Really, it is from the Chronicle!
					Oh, all right, I admit it.  Although
					it really is in the paper, it is in a 
					humour column about amazing changes of
					mind - like Coke, & Reagan summit with 
					Russians - and more second thoughts the
					columnist thinks we might see.)
