. . . Which brings up a question: Has ABC given any word regarding an heir 
presumptive?  Gil Gross would be the logical person if there were one; I 
wonder if they'll decide just to discontinue the broadcast altogether.  (We 
don't get ABC Radio up here any more, so I'm out of the loop in terms of 
knowing what's currently on.)   -Doug
