Map Discussion: A ridge of high pressure along the West Coast and a trough of
low pressure east of the Rocky Mountains dominate the upper levels. The front
that passed through Bryan-College Station Thursday morning continues its trek
into the eastern United States. The result is dry weather over the west and wet
weather in the east. Because of an upslope flow and cool temperatures, expect a
combination of rain and snow showers in West Texas. Another strong upper-level
low will move through the local area tonight and Saturday morning, posing at least
some threat of additional precipitation.
Forecast:
Today. Mostly cloudy and cool with a high of 54. Winds out of the east at 10 mph.
Tonight: Overcast and cool with a 30 percent chance of rain and a low of 38.
Winds out of the east at seven mph.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy and cool with the clouds decreasing in the evening. The
high will be in the low to mid 50s with winds out of the east at seven to 12 mph.
Weather Fact: Paleoclimatic (geological climate) - The climate of a time period in
the geologic past; that is, a “prehistoric” climate. Geologic evidence indicates
most, but certainly not all, of the last 500 million years enjoyed a genial climate,
that was occasionally interupted by the ice ages.

Publisher claims
lack of knowledge
of news reports
HOUSTON (AP) — Soldier of
Fortune’s publisher testified Thurs
day he was unaware of news reports
linking classified ads in his magazine
to criminal cases and that he may
have been the only staff member to
believe such ads should continue.
Robert K. Brown, in a second day
of testimony in a federal court trial
that seeks $22.5 million in damages
from the magazine, said if he had
known of the reports, he would have
investigated to see if his magazine
was somehow involved.
“I would have conducted an inves
tigation to see if it was an aberration
or a pattern,” he said. “If we could
have developed a pattern, then I
would have discontinued the ads.”
A Texas family is accusing the
publication of negligence for run
ning an ad that is linked to a wom
an’s 1985 slaying. The magazine bills
itself as the journal of professional
adventurers.
The ad brought Robert Black to
gether with John Wayne Hearn and
led to the murder-for-hire of Black’s
wife, Sandra, of Bryan.
Black is on Texas’ death row for
paying Hearn $10,000 to carry out
the killing. Hearn is serving three
life terms in Florida for murder.
Marjorie Einmann, Mrs. Black’s
mother, and Gary Black, the victim’s
18-year-old son, are seeking $2.5
million in actual damages and $20
million in punitive damages.
Hearn’s ad appeared in four is
sues of the magazine in l^te 1984,
“seeking former Marine and Vietnam
veterans and weapons specialists
with jungle warfare expertise for
“high risk assignments” in the
United States or overseas.
Brown said Thursday he had not
read in Denver-area newspapers
about an extortion indictment that
linked the magazine ads in May 1984
to a so-called “collection agency” al
legedly involved in kidnap, extortion
and death threats.
Numerous stories about the extor
tion ring were run in 1984 but
Brown said he may have been out of
the area during that time or merely
didn’t see them in the newspapers.
Brown also denied Thursday that
a new formal advertising policy
adopted in May 1984 was in re
sponse to police inquiries about
crimes that may have been linked to
classified ads in the magazine.
The policy established for the first
time since the magalzine began in
1975 a formal rejection procedure
for classified ads.
Coincidentally, Hearn’s ad ar
rived at the magazine in mid-May
1984.
Plaintiffs’ attorney Ron Franklin
suggested the policy was inaugu
rated after a New Jersey State Police
detective asked the magazine for
help in April 1984 in a case he be
lieved was linked to magazine ads.
Brown denied the suggestion.
The policy listed about a dozens
reasons why a classified ad could be
rejected, including one that sug
gested the ad would “encourage ille
gal activity.”
