Dear Mr. Dalquist,
        The authors of the TV violence study include three Universities--The
University of Texas at Austin (members from the College of Communication),
the University of California--Santa Barbara, and the University of North
Carolina.  I will provide you addresses of a couple of the lead researchers
from Texas below.
        However, the way you report the reports of the study is not accurate
as I understand them.  The study counts in context acts of violence,
comparing them across genre and location (network broadcast television,
cable broadcast, public broadcast, etc.).  It makes no claims about effects
except to reference earlier theories about possible effects.
