Last week the CEO proposed his most spectacular link-up yet: a plan to merge $70 billion Bell Atlantic (which serves roughly 40 million customers in 13 states) with GTE, a $52 billion company with some 21 million widely scattered customers. Earlier in the week AT&T had announced a multibillion-dollar joint venture with British Telecom. Driven by a violent reworking of the competitive and technological landscape, phone giants were embracing one another mostly out of mutual fear and defensiveness...

Because E. coli can be passed by touch from one person to another before it's unknowingly ingested, it was possible that he had picked up the bug from one of his friends in Alpine.

No. Beef jerky? No. Any relationship between contact with cattle and the appearance of the disease? Again, no. At last, Kennedy tap-tapped the commands asking the computer about a link between Alpine tap water and E. coli. The researchers leaned in as the question was processed and the numbers were tallied. After a long moment, the screen began to fill with numbers...
