At least Tel-Save won't be giving AOL any more of its shareholders money (I would imagine the other $100mm will be spent more wisely):

BN 2/22 Tel-Save Holdings Recommended for Selling Short, Forbes Says

New Hope, Pennsylvania, Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Tel-Save

Holdings Inc. is a good stock to sell short, say analysts, with

one putting its value at $8, a 68 percent decline from current

levels, Forbes magazine said in its ''Streetwalker'' column. Tel-

Save's $100 million exclusive marketing agreement with America

Online Inc. didn't produce the subscriptions it had expected, and

it said it will have to spend another $100 million to advertise.

AT&T Corp. and Qwest Communications International Inc. also have

both begun offering low-cost services to match Tel-Save's price,

the magazine said.

Tel-Save, which provides long-distance telecommunications

services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses

throughout the U.S., rose 2 29/32 to 27 11/16 on Friday.

OT

Forget the gentleman's name. Di-something. An Italian fellow, born in Brooklyn. Healthy, lively fellow. One evening he was walking on the shoulder/edge of a road and was hit by a car. It was fatal. I wish I remembered more of his stories. That was 10-11 years ago. He did tell me his regiment then went to Europe for the World War. He fought under "Black Jack" Pershing both in Mexico and Europe.
Thank you for bringing to mind a very pleasant memory.
