Soviet leader loses to sitcoms, special
NEW YORK ? NBC's exclusive, hour-long interview with Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev didn't impress prime-time television viewers, who were
more interested in ABC's special about a movie stuntman and CBS'
regular comedies.
According to the A. C. Nielsen Co., overnight ratings from the 15
largest television markets gave NBC's A Conversation with Mikhail S.
Gorbachev a rating of 9.1 and a 13 share. NBC pre-empted two comedies,
ALF and Valerie's Family.
CBS' comedies Kate <& A/lie and Frank's Place got a combined 16.6
rating and 24 share.
But ABC's special, The Ultimate Stuntman: A Tribute to Dar Robinson,
won the time period with a rating of 18.0 and a 26 share. Robinson, who
never broke a bone in a stunt, was killed in an off-camera motorcycic accident
in 1986. The special featured stars who had worked with Robinson,
including Burt Reynolds and Mel Gibson.

GREENVILLE ? The FBI has completed its investigation of alleged
KKK death threats against the Rev. Jesse Jackson, officials said.
Results of the two-week investigation into ku Klux Man threats against
the Democratic presidential candidate will be turned o\t% to the U.S.
Justice Department, which will decide if further action should be taken,
said FBI Agent Charlie Sheppard.
He said he could not discuss details of the investigation.
Sheppard said Monday he does not know if any arrests will result from
the investigation.
Woman charged with throwing child

7-month-old baby out of the window of a moving truck has pleaded no

Many mood changes begin to take
place, signs of intoxication, and a
large number of drinking and driving
accidents at this time of year.
"If alcohol is a problem with a
person initially, stress brings it out
even more. Suicide is also very real at
this time when you mix drugs and
alcohol. The intensities change with
stress," said Dr. Wright, medical
director of the Charter Rivers

stress reliever, but a sign of an addictive,

drinking only adds to stress
eventually. It is not a solution," said
Wright.
First, people must learn to talk

"Controlling it is a holistic
measure. We must be conscious of all
externals and internals. A good place
to start is with the basic outlets and
techniques such as relaxation,
reading, breathing routines, and daily
exercise. Exercise especially is an
excellent self-care, leaving you with a
feeling of refreshment. That's
definitely needed now," said
Spencer.
