I couldn't access the article. Could anyone either copy and paste it to me
(privately so as not to distrub others) or perhaps just give me a briefy
summary? Thank you.

Along those lines, the following is a Paul Krugman article, which quite
humorously recaps a similar media event about a wunderkind economist --
probably a story only economists would find funny.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. - On a tree-filled boulevard known as
Doctors' Row, the four- and five-bedroom brick Tudor homes
that are the jewels of this city's housing stock were
selling for about $150,000 two decades ago.
Seriously - consider the use of a pay phone, or a hotel phone. It is often
hard for me, and many other customers, to get completely accurate
information on phone call prices. When it comes to phone calls, I've
always missed some charge or tax, or there is change from when I last got
the info.
