The last incident, on November 21, involved the 'tap- ping' of WMAQ-AM facilities. Listeners were assailed with a barrage of cursing, and were treated to an old Bob Dylan tune, 'Don't Think Twice'. WMAQ-AM is the third Chicago station to report an intrusion. -- =============================================================================== Bob Parnass, Bell Telephone Laboratories - ihnp4!ihu1h!parnass - (312)979-5414
