Polls continued to show Clinton with a double-digit lead over Bush and Perot still trailing but gaining. A survey of voters in all states by ABC found Clinton "clearly ahead" in 18 states with 261 electoral votes just 9 shy of the 270 needed to win the presidency. By contrast, Bush was not "clearly ahead" in any and had a statistically significant lead in just three states with only 18 Electoral College votes. Perot was ahead nowhere, but separate polls by U.S. News World Report and The Washington Post showed him with 20 percent support, the highest since his formal announcement Oct.

Unions are solidly against the president. Meanwhile, Vice President Dan Quayle went to Pennsylvania to announced a $1.4 billion federal contract for the V-22 aircraft, which takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane. 1 It was the latest in a series of White House moves to take credit for programs it has opposed in the past.

Clinton running mate Gore scheduled stops today in Kentucky and North Carolina. At a rally Friday night in Columbia, S.C., the Tennessee senator preached racial harmony, saying the nation could learn lessons from his and Clinton's native South. "We are one nation under god and we are one people with one future and we're going to be together," Gore told about 4,000 people on the campus of the University of South Carolina. Clinton also has called for an end to racial divisions.

Fans and extras troop to George Strait film debut Garth Brooks could have been the name of a used car salesman in Wichita as far: as a Hanford movie audience was concerned Friday night. Strait news; Page 15 Put it this way, country music star George Strait was the man of the hour as his new movie, "Pure Country," opened at the Metro 4 Cinema on Seventh Street.

In fact, people began to line up 45 minutes before the show to get a good seat. Morcover, four women who have roles in Strait's movie were in the audience Friday, along with members from local George Strait fan clubs. 'We were in the audience yellin' and screamin' and ooohin' and coooin'. It was fun. And to be in a movie with him, it was a once in a lifetime Leslie Wilson T.S.

HEIE Sentinel Staff Writer Cheryl Mendes, Leslie Wilson, Vicki Gilson and her daughter, Kirsten, traveled to Las Vegas to be part of a Mirage Hotel audience that is featured at a concert in the film. The women can also be seen in Strait's music video, "I Cross My Heart." Admittedly, however, these four ladies won't win Oscars or any MTV awards. "If you've seen the video, you have to put it on pause to catch us," said Mendes. They were four among a crowd of 1,700 people, she said. Wilson and her friends said being part of "Pure Country" was secondary to seeing Strait live in concert, however.

"We were in the audience yellin' and screamin' and ooohin' and coooin'," Wilson said Friday. "It was fun. And to be in a movie with him, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity." 04 07 Ralph Staff Photographer Members of the George Strait Fan Club in attendance Friday night were, from front left, Carin Wilson, Lesley Wilson, Cheryl Mendes and Nicole Mendes; second row, Jenifer Hansen, Becky Tripp, Kirsten Gilson and Vicki Gilson; and John Mendes. and hollering," Mendes said. Kirsten Gilson, a student al Tulare Union High School, said she has "all of George Strait's albums." And the trip to the concert with her mom was highlighted by the fact that they went backstage at the end of filming, she said.

As Kirsten tells the story, which is confirmed by her mother, they made friends with some stagehands who snuck them behind the curtain. When Kirsten told her friends back home about her movie experience, she said one of her friends started screaming. "She's a big screamer," the highschooler noted. Vicki Gilson even brought a picture to the theater of her, Kirsten and another unidentified fan sitting next to Strait backstage. Sitting in the back of the audience Friday night were three older women who described themselves as "The Golden Girls." All had something 10 say about George Strait, that's for sure.

"I love him," said Thelma Barreiro of Hanford. "I think he's wonderful." At that same moment, Barriero's Kampa later said, "He's clean-cut and I think he's neat. But I think most old ladies think a young man's cute." Vicki Shaw of Lemoore said she hopes to see Strait starring in other movies, as long as he doesn't give up singing country music. "I'm sure he'll be good," she said before the lights dimmed and the projector rolled. "He has to be good!" 'He's clean-cut and think he's neat.
