His first goal, he said, was to get to know the people at his station and then to consider what service he, as owner of the station, can offer the community. “What service can we offer that no one else is offering?” he said. ‘Tve always used the theory good public service is good business.

And that’s where people learn leadership.” As the son of immigrant parents (His father was Russian; his mother Romanian), Brechner is on the Ellis Island restoration committee, as well as other boards and in civic groups concerned with human rights, civil rights and freedom of informa tion. Brechner said he and station man ager Dennis Czechanski and other members of the channel 49 staff have been discussing courses the sta tion might take over the next' few months. “My philosophy is to do nothing in a hurry,” he said. “We have a list of equipment that is needed.

Usually two-thirds of a copier’s life is over within two years.” According to the article in Admin istrative Management, “new micro processor technologies combined with laser imaging” and limitless copying has “led the way toward more ‘smart’ copiers and more inno vative applications for this most useful office tool.” The day might come soon where a “keyboard will be attached to a copier, allowing the user to input data at one end and have a bound, finished report emerge at the other,” the article says. “Copiers of the future will be more automated — less user-in- voivement,” Ritter, of Dataquest Inc., said.
