 Exactly what is meant by breaking even depends on subtleties of
 accounting.  For example, a couple of years ago, Bob Bittler said, in a
 Globe article, that WJIB had only made a profit of $3 (or something like
 that) for the previous year.  Now, I've always wondered whether Bob
 receives a salary as an employee of Bob Bittner Broadcasting, Inc.  If so,
 that "profit," which might be considered barely breaking even, masked the
 fact that Bob may have been making a reasonable living from the station.

Bob took home a big $72.00 that year.  (It was $72, not $3, in the Globe
article).
