The case actually was between Richmond Brothers and Westinghouse, not 
because Gerald Jacoby aka Jerry Williams was on the air in Chicago 
(which Richmond didn't care about) but because he came back to Boston 
on WBZ within the five years.  The case reached the Supreme Judicial 
Court, which decided that Richmond Brothers had gotten enough benefit 
from the noncompete.
