Fox, TCI
target ESPN
NEWYORK (AP) — Rupert Mur
doch and cable’s Tele-Communica
tions Inc. are teaming up with Ca-
blevision Systems Corp. to form a
national sports network in compe
tition with ESPN.
The companies announced today
that Fox/Liberty Networks, a joint
venture of TCI and Murdoch’s News
Corp., will buy 40 percent of Cablevi-
sion’s sports assets for $850 million.
They include the New York Knicks
and Rangers as well as eight regional
sports channels.
Those assets will be combined
with nine Fox/Liberty regional
sports channels and regional sports
systems affiliated with Fox. Togeth
er, they will be used to assemble a
network with coast-to-coast reach,
an asset in negotiating for national
sports programming rights and ad
vertising contracts.
The deal, expected since last
week, is the latest of many media
mergers and deals, some involving
the same companies. Cablevision
recently announced it was increas
ing its presence in the New York area
by buying 10 cable systems from
TCI, the nation’s biggest cable com
pany, with its own stock.
Fox Sports Net, as the new net
work will be called, will reach 55 mil
lion homes and carry both sports
news and games.
Fox/Liberty Media, a 50-50 ven
ture of News Corp. and TCI’s Liberty
Media programming arm, will own
half of the sports network. The other
half will be owned by Cablevision’s
Rainbow Media Holdings, its pro
gramming arm. NBC owns 25 per
cent of Rainbow.
Court OKs extra time
for some sex offenders
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sexual
predators judged to be dangerous
though not mentally ill can be
locked up even after they finish
serving their sentences, the
Supreme Court ruled Monday.
The 5-4 ruling lets Kansas con
tinue holding an admitted pe
dophile who has said the only sure
way he could keep from abusing
children again would be to die.
Anticipating
crimes before theyVe
been committed...
should frighten
every American.”
Wendy McFarland
ACLU representative
People like Leroy Hendricks
can be held indefinitely if they are
considered mentally abnormal
and are likely to commit new
crimes, the court said. There is no
special legal significance to the
term “mentally ill,” the court said,
adding that states can use other
terms to describe who can be con
fined against his will.
Such confinement, intended to
protect society, does not violate the
constitutional right to due process
l)
and is not double punishment for
the same crime, the justices said.
Wendy McFarland, of the
American Civil Liberties Union:
Kansas and Western Missouri
chapter, said, “Anticipating crimes
before they’ve been committed
and penalizing them before they 1,611
happen is a precedent that should
frighten every American.”
But Justice Clarence Thomas! 5 ' 011
wrote for the court majority, “The
Kansas Legislature has taken great ledt
care to confine only a nanovv class One
of particularly dangerous individu
als, and then only after meetingthe
strictest procedural standards,"
As the court neared the end of
its term, the justices also:
—Cave Whitewater prosecutors
a victory by turning down White
House efforts to withhold notes its
lawyers took of conversations with
Hillary Rodham Clinton. The jus
tices let stand a lower court ruling
that the notes are not protected by
attorney-client privilege.
— Ruled that public school
teachers can offer remedial help at
church-run schools. The 5-4 deci
sion overturned the high court’s ora
1985 ruling in a church-state case.
— Said guards at privately run
prisons do not have the same im
munity against lawsuits as some
times is given to state prison guards.
— Ruled that provisions of a
new federal law that limit most
state inmates’ access to federal
courts do not apply to inmates
who had federal appeals pending
when it took effect.
Severe obesity linked to gene defects
NEWYORK (AP) — For the first
time, scientists have identified ge
netic flaws that make people fat.
One defect showed up in an 8-
year-old girl who weighs nearly 200
pounds. She has already had surgery
on her overburdened legs and lipo
suction just to help her get around.
The genetic defects are described
in two reports, each dealing with a
different gene. One report caps an in
tensive worldwide search for flaws in
the gene that tells the body how to
make the hormone leptin, while the
other gives a new hint for under
standing the complex process that
controls a person’s weight.
Experts said the newfound de
fects cause obesity only very rarely
and do not apply to the vast majori
ty of fat people.
“They’re real landmark papers”
said Dr. Albert Stunkard of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania School of

Medicine. But there’s “no big public
health or therapeutic message. ...
The average middle-aged, over
weight woman is not likely to see
much benefit from this.”
Genes do play an important role
in ordinary human obesity, but that
probably comes from subtle varia
tions in their functioning rather than
major defects like the newfound mu
tations, said Rudolph Leibel of Rock
efeller University.
The new work is presented in
Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature
and the July issue of the journal Na
ture Genetics. The work is reported by
scientists from Addenbrooke’s Hospi
tal at Cambridge University in Eng
land with collaborators elsewhere.
The case of the 8-year-old girl who
weighs 190 pounds also includes her
cousin, a 2-year-old boy who tips the
scales at 64 pounds. That is more
than twice as much as most boys that

age weigh. Both children are so heavy
they have trouble walking.
Scientists discovered that botk
children have a defect in the gene
that tells fat cells to produce leptin.
Those mutations greatly reduced
leptin supply.
The two children might be helped
by leptin injections, said Arlen Price)
who studies obesity genetics at fh|
University of Pennsylvania. i
Leptin was first discovered in'
mice. Experiments showed it lets the
mouse brain keep tabs onhowfatffl
animal is. Mice with defective leptin
genes became very fat but lost
when they got leptin injections.
Those results set off an intensive
search for leptin gene flaws in fat
people. None was found until now,
which indicates such defects are very
rare, experts said. But the new work
does show that leptin is important in
regulating body weight in people.
