Abortion foe sues over closed site 

ATLANTA (AP) - An anti-abortion activist has sued an Internet service
provider for $251 million because it shut down his Web site depicting
mangled fetuses and Wild West-style wanted posters of abortion doctors.
MindSpring Enterprises shut down Neal Horsley's site, "The Nuremburg
Files," in February, days after a federal jury in Oregon ordered several
anti-abortion groups that contribute to the site to pay $107 million in
damages because the tactics amounted to illegal threats. Horsley, 55, was
not a defendant, but MindSpring said his site violated the company's
"appropriate use policies." See full story

TBS to launch women's channel 

NEW YORK (AP) - Turner Broadcasting System is teaming up with two major
magazine publishers to launch a cable TV channel aimed at women, going up
against the already successful Lifetime channel. The new channel, which has
yet to be named, will be launched together with an accompanying Web site
early next year, the companies announced Thursday. TBS' partners in the
venture are Time Inc., which like TBS is part of the Time Warner media
conglomerate, and Conde Nast, which is owned by the privately held company
Advance Publications. The new service will be headed by Pat Mitchell, who
heads the production division at CNN that won a Peabody award for its
series on the Cold War. See full story
