[CW] Clear Channel Communications to Purchase Radio Station WWV

[Danny Douglas via CW]

I like my Doctor, and kept him.
I like MY health care plan, and kept it.  The price went up $1.00 a 
month , much lower than the annual increase in 10 years.
I like my hospital, and continue to go to it.

I haven't tried to set a clock via WWV in 20 years.  But still listen to 
it occasionally to see what the props are.
