I did call AT&T in an attempt to resolve this, but got nowhere.  I
can't personally defray the entire cost, but I'll write a check for a
portion of it.  I have set up my own long distance account with
onesuite.com, which I'll use for phone interviews in the future.

Let me restate that of all the things for which the IMC could be
budgeting, long distance service to conduct phone interviews to
produce news seems like it should be high on the list.  $.02.
