ITEM 4.  Ownership.

(a)      Prior to October 15, 2001 the Reporting Person beneficially owned
         4,432,838 shares of Class B Common Stock as follows: (i) 1,256,425
         shares and 1,256,425 shares held indirectly as co-trustee of two
         trusts, respectively dated January 18, 1985 and January 18, 1985 (the
         "1985 Trusts"); (ii) 182,181 shares and 182,181 shares, respectively,
         held indirectly as co-trustee of two trusts, respectively dated April
         20, 1989 and April 20, 1989 (the "1989 Trusts"); (iii) 363,736 shares,
         363,736 shares, 217,316 shares and 217,316 shares, respectively, held
         indirectly as sole trustee of four trusts, respectively dated May 17,
         1999, May 17, 1999, April 19, 2000 and April 19, 2000 (the "1999/2000
         Trusts" and, together with the 1985 Trusts and the 1989 Trusts, the
         "Trusts"); and (iv) 393,522 shares of Class B Common stock held jointly
         with his wife. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of
         all such shares of Class B Common Stock. The shares of Class B Common
         Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person do not include 256,478
         shares of Class B Common Stock owned solely by his wife, for which the
         Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership.

         On October 15, 2001, the Reporting Person ceased to act as trustee of
         the 1999/2000 Trusts (the "1999/2000 Trusts Withdrawal"). On November
         13, 2001, the Reporting Person ceased to act as trustee of the 1985
         Trusts (the "1985 Trusts Withdrawal" and, together with the 1999/2000
         Trusts Withdrawal, the "Withdrawal"). After giving effect to the
         Withdrawal, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 757,884 shares of
         Class B Common Stock consisting of the 182,181 shares and the 182,181
         shares, respectively, held indirectly as co-trustee of 1989 Trusts and
         the 393,522 shares held jointly with his wife.

(b)      Prior to the Withdrawal, the Reporting Person beneficially owned
         4,432,838 shares of Class B Common Stock. Based on the Company's most
         recent public filings, this represented beneficial ownership of 7.4% of
         the Company's Class B Common Stock.

                               Page 4 of 6 Pages

         After the Withdrawal, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 757,884
         shares of Class B Common Stock. Based on the Company's most recent
         public filings, this represents beneficial ownership of 1.3% of the
         Company's Class B Common Stock.

(c)      Immediately prior to the Withdrawal, the Reporting Person shared voting
         and dispositive power with respect to the 1,256,425 and 1,256,425
         shares owned by the 1985 Trusts and (ii) had sole voting and
         dispositive power with respect to the 363,736 shares, the 363,736
         shares, the 217,316 and the 217,316 shares, respectively, owned by the
         1999/2000 Trusts. After giving effect to the Withdrawal, the Reporting
         Person no longer has any voting or dispositive power with respect to
         such shares of Class B Common Stock.

         Immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the Withdrawal, the
         Reporting Person shares voting and dispositive power with (i) the
         respective co-trustees of the 1989 Trusts with respect to the 182,181
         shares and the 182,181 shares, respectively, owned by the 1989
         Trusts; and (ii) his wife with respect to the 393,522 shares of Class B
         Common Stock held jointly by the Reporting Person and his wife.

ITEM 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

         If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date
         hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of
         more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following
         [X].

ITEM 6.  Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

         The respective trustees and beneficiaries of the Trusts have the right
         to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
         proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by
         the Trusts.

         Certain shares of Class B Common Stock held jointly by the Reporting
         Person and his wife are pledged to secure certain borrowings. The
         pledgee of such shares has the right to receive or the power to direct
         the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such
         shares.

         By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and
         belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not
         held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing
