	I had one reporter call me, not from the publication cited for this thread
(and frankly I can't remember which one.)  I have not noted any other POC
member indicating that they were called by them, either.  Across the
committee, we spend quite a bit of time talking with the press and
certainly try to remain responsive to their queries.  Driving along the
old-time information highway of such publications, mileage really DOES vary.
