LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:

eep from the Heart of Texas, this week's first feature looks at a topic near and dear to the region: cheerleading. You're probably thinking this is going to be a puff piece. It's not. FW Weekly's P.A. Humphrey takes a local look at this "sport".

Paralleling the feature in our News & Opinion section, the ACLU is hard at work in New Mexico fighting for your rights on the Internet. An injunction has held up a new state law banning 'net material that could be "harmful to a minor". The law.....and the struggle have far reaching implications for all Internet users.

Plus news on the new Windows '98, school newspaper Web sites, and more...
