PETE ON CNN

[Brian.Cady@turner.com]

        I'm sorry I didn't know about this sooner but CNN and CNN Headline 
     News is running an interview with PT at various times today.  I would 
     say your best bet to see it is at around 1254pm and 254pm EDT today on 
     CNN Headline News.  I believe it will run then.
     
     In case you don't get to see it, here's a copy of the script:
