Jim Hill wrote to us about the Puffin Group & Hewlett-Packard, a popular story today being on both MSNBC and in the public section of the Wall Street Journal.

The European Union is blocking the 38$US billion merger/buyout of MCI and WorldCom it was reported.

GTE was one of the jilted suitors of MCI.
