     letter to PA Gov. Tom Ridge: "I beg you to designate the Vet

     wrote on the construction of the Pepsi Center and cited

     state-of-the-art everything," from $5M scoreboards and video
     displays to marble, granite and tile floors (ROCKY MOUNTAIN
     NEWS, 9/19)....Ogden Corporation said that it "plans to sell
     its entertainment and aviation business instead of spinning
     them off."  Its entertainment business includes operating
