Senate conservatives target public radio and TV funds
Conservatives in the Senate challenge federal support for PBS NPR and local stations. They criticized programs like Tongues United and Mania's World and oppose funding for the Children's Television Workshop while stressing scrutiny of the CPB authorization bill. They warn a broader funding cut could erode public broadcasting, though leaders insist the system remains noncommercial and independent from government control.

Cholera outbreak spurs US spread warnings from CDC
Health officials say the cholera rise is unlikely to spread nationwide but expect sporadic US cases due to travel and imported foods. The current outbreak began February 14 with at least 76 infected on Aerolineas Argentinas Flight 386 from Buenos Aires to Los Angeles via Lima, Peru. Investigators blame cold seafood salad from a Lima caterer. The incident raises US cases for the year beyond the 26 recorded in 1991.
