Dole accuses AT&T of violating law over Miami convention
Senator Robert Dole, Republican national chairman, says AT&T appears to violate laws by arranging to install phones at the Democratic National Convention in Miami while carrying a $1.5 million 1968 debt. He alleges the deal advances the DNC about $80,000 and calls for public hearings. A Democratic spokesman counters that the charge is a diversion from a White House scandal. The piece also includes a county forecast with temperatures and wind.
