LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ig is the word in News & Opinion this week. More than half
of the U.S. population is trying to lose weight, according to
recent surveys. One group thinks that's crazy. Find out about
their philosophies and activities in "The BIG Issue."
Call Mulder and Scully 'cause Tennessee is crawling with alien
abduction victims. Some are fearful of their experience and strive
for anonymity. Others seem like media hounds with stories straight
out of UFO films. Disappearances, strange deaths, and more to
be found in "Out There."
Back down to Earth is the story of Amber; just another kid in
the city. This isn't "NYPD" or "The Real World"
on MTV, this is the real story of an inner city kid trying to
get from one day to the next. A girl with goals, ideals, and some
strong opinions including a word or two on President Clinton.
She tells her story in "Life According to Amber."
