flying objects as part of a live nationally syndicated television special on UOs Cover up hosted by Mike arrell an actor on the series will be the sec ond national television program in as many weeks to feature the Gulf Breeze UO sightings that began last November and contin ued periodically for about six months The show is scheduled for 7 pm CDT on 140 stations (WXTX 54 locally) said Mitch Zamarin a Los Angeles public relations representative for LBS Communications the New York based company that is producing the program The Gulf Breeze UOs also were the subject of an Oct 5 segment of the NBC series solved hosted by ac tor Robert Stack it is a hoax it is incredibly said Tracy Torme who will interview some of the dozens of local residents who have reported seeing the Gulf Breeze UOs The crown shaped objects with numerous portholes also have been photographed several times by a resident of this Pensacola suburb whose identity has never been revealed but who has vari PBS to air series called Times News Service NEW YORK a national weekly television series about books and authors will be aired by PBS starting in January Lewis Lapham editor of magazine will be the host of the

Although book discussion pro grams have usually been regard ed as too slow and static for American television there have been occasional book programs on cable television and local stations and MacNeil Leh rer on PBS periodi cally offers book reviews and author interviews But public television has been without a national book program since Robert more than a decade ago in each of its half hour segments will empha size current fiction and non fic tion books Lapham said with the taped programs intended for broadcast as closely as possible to the publication date Authors will usually

the and Night series thought they looked pretty ridiculous I now firmly believe this is Torme who has visited Gulf Breeze twice before to research the sightings said he is im pressed that many solid citizens of this bedroom community say they have seen the UOs Among them are a city councilwoman a medical examiner and a chemi cal engineer In the past any time one person has taken more than one set of photos as has done it has been a hoax Torme said But experts have been unable so far to prove the Gulf Breeze pictures are fakes he said significant because never been a legitimate case like it Torme said Spending some time with Torme said also has led him to believe the man is not a hoaxer Blaze causes serious damage to MTV offices Associated Press NEW YORK The offices of MTV and its Video

Since we dropped it we haven't had a single Two cable companies in Columbus continue to carry Channel 66 though the Cablevision signal is weak at best Waller Dix station manager at WSWS said Phenix move caught him by surprise had no idea they'd taken us off the cable" But he admitted been running at reduced power for over a year We lost an important part of our equipment and replaced it yet We
