PEOPLE COLUMN

Michael Moriarty of TV's "Law and Order" is no fan of Attorney General Janet Reno. He compares her to a "mindless attack dog in the spirit of Joe McCarthy" on the question of TV violence, says USA Today. The actor, along with a producer and an NBC president, met with Reno on Nov. 18. The day after, he sent her a stinging letter saying, "The next time you call me to a meeting where only one side gets to ask the questions, send a subpoena."

He also wrote President Clinton, calling for her resignation.

The Pentagon pulled back Thursday from statements that the troops aren't interested in listening to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

A military spokesman said the Pentagon is considering carrying Limbaugh's radio and TV shows on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

Secretary of Defense Les Aspin called Limbaugh on Wednesday night, a Pentagon spokesman said, to let him know that "despite some of the reporting that had gone on," there was nothing political about decisions on airing his show. "We're negotiating with the Rush Limbaugh staff to see if we can work something out here," a Pentagon spokesman said.

The absence of Limbaugh's program from the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service became an issue when Rep. Robert Dornan, R-Calif., and Sen. John Warner, R-Va., complained that the military was cut off from the popular radio and television broadcasts.

On Tuesday, Pentagon spokeswoman Kathleen deLaski said the service didn't carry the shows because of a lack of demand. The Pentagon said Thursday that 3.9 percent of the 50,000 surveyed, asked what could make the service's radio more entertaining, answered "more talk radio-Rush Limbaugh-Paul Harvey."

All the guests who admired a young cow at Clay and Pat Oeser's wedding reception in Conajoharie, N.J., must undergo vaccinations after the heifer died from rabies.

The Oesers showed off the year-old cow named Tiffany at the Nov. 13 reception at their rural home near Canajoharie, 50 miles west of Albany. Montgomery County, N.Y., public health officials have told the Oesers and at least 25 of their wedding guests to have post-exposure rabies shots. Tiffany died Nov. 27.
