 Explanation of Responses:

 (fn1)  The number of shares represents equivalent shares based on the fair market value of the shares of Series A Common Stock held by the unitized stock fund under the Issuer’s 401(k) Savings Plan based on a report from the Plan Administrator dated 11/30/02.  The holder has an interest in the unitized fund, which holds shares of the Issuer's Series A Common Stock and short-term investments.  The number of shares reported reflects a reduction of 3,968 shares of the Issuer's Series A Common Stock as a result of changes in the market value of the Series A Common stock and additional contributions by and for the benefit of the reporting person that occurred since the reporting person's last report.  (fn2)  The reporting person has disclaimed beneficial ownership of these shares of the Issuer’s Series A Common Stock owned by his spouse.
