I just got an order form in the mail from Bellcore offering me the new
"BOC Notes on the LEC Networks, 1990" for the sum of $395.  I remember
"Notes" (the Blue Book) as selling for about $50. Ah, the wonders of
divestiture and inflation!  For those whose budgets allow, the
Document Number is SR-TSV-002275, from
