"Info-talnment?": The term was coined by David Letterman, but was a fairly accurate
description of Sally Hunters presentation, entitled Sex and the Single Voter. Hunter, an
internationally known political consultant, informed a roomful of Behrend students and faculty
of the various trials and tribulatlons involved in filming political "documercials", which are a
cross between documentaries and commercials. Several outtakes of her documentaries also
doubled as entertainment.

As many as ten followers of David Kesh, the radical cult leader,
may be dead in Waco, Texas. Kesh had promised on Tuesday to
surrender if a 58-minute statement would be aired, but reneged on

nation. Kesh's excuse was that he had received word from God.

A $200,000 reward has been posted in New York City by the Port
Authority and the City for anyone offering information leading to
the arrest and conviction of the parties responsible for planting a
bomb in the basement garage of the World Trade Center on

received threats of a bombing months ago, and the New York
Police Commissioner believed that the threat was gone when the
second deadline laid down by the terrorists had passed on January
26. One or two terrorists may have died in the explosion, and a
van was used to plant the bomb.
