Secondly, in the transaction by which Qwest accquired its 34,000 miles of railroad right-of-way from the Union Pacific--perhaps another unseverable asset going back to laws dating from the 19th century. Was Nacchio so tunnel sighted about the Golden Rule and its effect on Naccio, or was he focused on the effect on the one who held the gold and made the rules? Wasn't any possible loss to Naccio minuscule when compared to the loss to the major shareholder & was that major block of Qwest shares unencumbered?
