BARRY WINCHELL at Fort Campbell, Kentucky sent shock waves even beyond U.S. borders. Although Winchell's tragic death was an indictment of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that prevented him from reporting escalating harassment, there's been no change in that policy. Winchell's parents have continued to hold the military responsible for their son's death, and in mid-May they met with leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee to oppose the pending promotion of Major General Robert T. Clark, their son's commanding officer.* So a Showtime cable network film about Pfc. Winchell's life and death could not be more timely. Entitled "SOLDIER'S GIRL", it's both a reminder of his horrific murder and a celebration of his life. "Soldier's Girl" screenwriter RON NYSWANER (Oscar-nominated for "Philadelphia") and Winchell's girlfriend CALPERNIA ADDAMS share the art and the reality of the story with This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE (with preview clips and intro/outro music from "Love Don't Need A Reason" performed by MICHAEL CALLEN). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:40 [*The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network is also lobbying against Clark's promotion.
