X-Message-Number: 16607 Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 12:53:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Charles Platt <> Subject: Alcor in TV Documentary A few weeks ago, I mentioned here that Alcor had refused to participate in a syndicated TV spot on cryonics, supposedly because I would be featured in it. My source for this statement was the producer of the show, who told me several times that my presence in the show was the reason that Alcor preferred not to be featured. However, I have since heard from someone at Alcor who insists that this is not the whole story, and Alcor had other problems with the conception of the show. Either way, I understand that Alcor did eventually resolve its differences with the production company, and decided to participate. I was glad to hear this. According to the producer, the 5-minute feature will be aired via many large regional TV stations, as a part of their nightly news. I don't have any information about the probable broadcast date. --Charles Platt Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16607
