                        COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
      THREE-MONTH AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998


Earnings (loss) net of dividends paid (undistributed earnings) are allocated
equally per share to weighted average Class A shares, as adjusted for the
dilutive effect of stock options using the treasury stock method, and weighted
average Class B shares outstanding during the year. Earnings (loss) per Class A
and Class B common share were computed, as shown in the table below, by adding
dividends paid per Class A and Class B common share (distributed earnings) to
undistributed earnings.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

Options to purchase shares of Class A common stock under the Company's
Nonqualified Stock Option Plan were outstanding during the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. However, these shares were
not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common
shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. The number of shares
excluded from the computation were 72,160 for the 1999 periods and 95,220 for
the 1998 periods.
