>      COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) -- A British newspaper report that Arthur C.
>      Clarke is a pedophile is false, his spokesman said Monday, and the
>      science fiction writer is consulting lawyers.
>      
>      "I am outraged by the Sunday Mirror's allegations, and I am seeking
>      legal advise," Clarke said in a brief statement read to reporters by
>      his secretary, Roshan Amarasekhara.
>      
>      "Mr. Clarke is very upset by the false reports," Amarasekhara added.

>      Clarke was quoted at length discussing sex with young men in the
>      sensationalist British newspaper's report Sunday, a day before
>      Prince Charles was to fly to Sri Lanka to confer the honorary
>      knighthood Queen Elizabeth granted the author late last year. The
>      prince will also take part in the former British colony's 50th
>      independence anniversary celebrations.
