The US shortwave station WWCR 7520 KHz just reported at about 5:00 UTC
2-7-90 that two gentlemen have been convicted of violation of Texas
sweepstakes laws due to their 1-900 marketing of a sweepstakes to win
a crewmember position on a russian space mission.

No other details were reported at the time.

I'd like to see email from anyone that caught the details of the
conviction.
