Dr. Laura is number one in the nation with just over 18.25 million weekly 
listeners. Rush is just behind at 18 million.   I gloomed this information from the 
USA Today Life section front page bottom right corner daily factiod.

I then enlarged in on the copier to fit 8 1/2 x 11 and now use it as a selling tool 
as our Talk station WEMJ carries both Rush & Laura.
