                                   Exhibit 1


    This Amendment to Schedule 13G is being filed by a group pursuant to Rule
13d-5(b)(1).  The members of the group are as follows:  Mortimer B. Fuller, III,
individually, as Trustee of the Residuary Trust u/w of Mortimer B. Fuller, Jr.,
as Trustee of the Frances A. Fuller Family Trust, and as Co-Executor of the
Estate of Frances Fuller; and Overlook Estate Foundation, Inc. (Mortimer B.
Fuller, III, President).

    Mr. Fuller holds an irrevocable proxy, expiring in 2008, to vote all of the
shares held by the Residuary Trust u/w of Mortimer B. Fuller, Jr. and by the
Estate of Frances A. Fuller.

    The shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
reported in this Amendment to Schedule 13G consist of:  (a) shares of Class A
Common Stock beneficially owned by the members of the group in the various
capacities indicated (including shares issuable under presently exercisable
options held by Mortimer B. Fuller, III) (see table below); and (b) shares of
the Issuer's Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, beneficially owned
by such members in the various capacities indicated.  The Issuer's Class B
Common Stock, which is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, has ten votes per share (as compared with the
Class A Common Stock, which has one vote per share), and is freely convertible
into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
