>To summarize our 30 minute meeting, I was basically offered "an opportunity

>"penetrate the black community" in effort to persuade black business owners
>to buy advertising on COOL 105, then we all could share "in the pot of
>money." He would get "the most" of course, because it's his "radio station,"
>and the 2 or 3 black individuals that I coerced into and trained in working

>Mr. Cohn admitted to me that they had come to realize that some of the issues

>thereby, not generating 30 to as much as 60% of the potential revenue in the

>Mr. Cohn, also indicated that there was not need to rush into a decision at
