     ATARI BUYS THE FEDERATED CHAIN STORE!  On August 23, 1987 Atari has
announced that it will buy Federated Chain-Store for 67.3 million.  This will
give Atari 65 retail stores in California, Texas, Arizona, and Kansas.  Is this
another Rumor, is this a rumor somebody has created, or somebody at ATari has
created???  Of course, if this isn't a rumor, Federated has to approve first,
I hear they are in finacial difficulty.  Will this be just like Chuck E. Cheese
??  I mean as in a Successful flop??  You know I was never shure if that was
owned by Nolan Bushnell, or Atari.  But I hear Bushnell got 4 mil out of it,
when it was all over.
