Though they were all very friendly to us, they even attacked the church, which gave them shelter. There were a lot of fights, informers, subversion.

Turner's nonprofit venture does not offer free equipment, but many cable operators have agreed to connect noncable schools gratis if they sign up for CNN's program.
