PEOPLE, Page 79It's a Fact
By 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.
