ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

This statement, dated December 1, 1998, constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the
Schedule 13D, dated April 26, 1996 ("SCHEDULE") regarding the reporting person's

The address of the Issuer's principal executive offices is 5400 LBJ Freeway,
Suite 680, Dallas, Texas 75240.

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed in accordance with Rule 13d-2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ("EXCHANGE ACT") to report a change
in the reporting person's beneficial ownership of Common Stock that results in a
termination of the reporting person's obligation to file reports under Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

The reporting person, Freedom Communications, Inc., a California corporation
("REPORTING PERSON"), is a communications company owning various newspapers,
magazines and television stations. The address of the Reporting Person's
principal executive offices is 17666 Fitch, Irvine, California 92714.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

As of December 1, 1998, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 583,094 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer, which represents approximately 4.6% % of the
outstanding shares of such class. The foregoing beneficial ownership amount
includes 100,000 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired at a price of
$6.41 per share upon the exercise of a warrant that expires on May 21, 2000. The
Reporting Person holds sole voting and dispositive power over all shares
