        <footnote id="F1">Mr. Greenberg sold 5,000 shares of Class B Common Stock on 4/30/01 pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan filing set up with an independent broker, however, the timely filed Form 4 inadvertently indicated 50,000 shs sold (typo).  Correction brings the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Greenberg to 804,208 shs from 759,208 shs.</footnote>
