PEOPLE, Page 79It's a FactBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
Ted Turner has a novel solution for global problems: since the
planet's future is too important to be left to scientists, give
writers a chance to see what they can do. And to inspire them, the
media captain and boss of CNN announced last week that he was
offering rewards for the best literary work with themes ensuring
survival and prosperity. "We're floundering around as a species
right now," says Turner. The world will be a better place for the
winner. The modestly named Turner Tomorrow Awards carry a first
prize of $500,000, the biggest cash award ever for a work of
fiction.
