GROUNDHOG FAILS TO SEE SHADOW

Winter Soon To Be Over

	Punxatawney, PA -- Punxatawney Phil, the groundhog, failed to see
its shadow when it emerged from its hole today.  Traditionally, this
means that less than six weeks of winter are left.

	Members of the Groundhog Club here said that in the 96 years they
have been keeping track, Phil has failed to see its shadow only five times.
"That groundhog has never been wrong about the end of winter," they also
stated.
