Under this plan, fees are converted quarterly into phantom shares at the fair market value of the company's Class A Common shares on the last trading day of each quarter.  Upon retirement as a director, the balance may be paid in either shares or cash.  The balance at 12/31/2003 is 668.77 phantom shares.</footnote></footnotes><remarks></remarks><ownerSignat
