It was obviously biased coverage, but my personal leanings were not offended. An intersting comment Al Frankin made one evening stated that since they were a cable channel, they didn't have to be fair. One of the highlights had to be Penn Gillette's commercials for Ross Perot. Beautiful stuff. I collect political television and would love to have this also. I was going to call Comedy Central directly, but I am not at work and don't have their number handy. Along the same lines, E! has been running a pseudo-documentary from the Pat Paulsen 1968 Presidential campaign. Also very good. Good luck with the research. I would be very intersted in it. Keep us informed. -- Rick E. Provine Media Librarian University of Virginia [log in to unmask] 804/924-7409
