   An editorial in the New York Daily News (1/31/94), by Joe Queenan brings
   to light some interesting facts about the sponsor of the infamous New
   York "Death Clock" billboard.

   The organization which sponsors the billboard, the Dehere Gun Fighters,
   was founded by Robert Brennan, a New Jersey businessman.

   Items highlighted by the editorial:

	Brennan's brother, made out to be a victim of gun violence 25 years
	ago, was actually "shot by a law officer in New Jersey after a car
	chase."

	Brennan has been "the subject of Securities and Exchange Commission
	fraud investigations that date back more than 15 years."

	Finally, Brennan is going to trial soon in a case in which the SEC
	is seeking $20 million dollars "for selling stocks in companies of
	dubious value."

   The editorialist, Queenan, is intrigued by the timing of the "Death
   Clock" billboard considering Brennan's upcoming trial.

   The editorial finishes by suggesting Brennan "consider paying for The
   Who's Kidding Who Clock which would keep tabs on all the scoundrels who
   try, just before the feds haul them into court, to buy the public's
   favor with sordid PR stunts."
