The Silence Hurts $500,000 Worth - Lawyer Nicholas A. Abraham contemplates his silent telephone in his Boston office today. Abraham has filed a $500,000 damage suit against the New England Telephone Company. He claims phone still doesn't work right despite repeated complaints since January, 1968. Abraham says callers hear what appears to be ringing, but it doesn't ring in office, so potential clients hang up assuming office is closed.
