Abstract:
Deregulation of the trucking industry is a boon to shippers. It has doubled the number of for-hire carriers engaged in interstate trucking from 16,000 to 32,000, and it has allowed shippers to cut over $25 billion over the past four years from annual freight costs. However, critics say the downside of deregulation is highway safety for both the truck drivers and the general public.

Kinney discusses with city officials and business leaders the question of when does more turn into too much and big becomes bad?

Abstract:
When Bryan McIntyre, general manager of radio station WPTF, was hired, the station's format was heavy on sports, news and information, along with mild mannered music. Listeners were drifting away. His solution - more talk, less music. Enter Bob Kwessel, described by McIntyre as \"a wild man, loud-mouthed, and obnoxious,\" a person who irritated everyone, but drew listeners. Now WPTF has climbed back atop the Triangle's radio ratings.
