Lamar Alexander, former governor of Tennessee, and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee tomorrow will ask TIAA-CREF, the California State Teachers' Retirement System, Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System, Teacher Retirement System of Texas and the Ohio State Teachers' Retirement System to sell their holdings of makers of violent computer games. Their action comes in the aftermath of schoolyard killings in Jonesboro, Ark., and Paducah, Ky.
Mr. Alexander's Campaign for a New American Century so far has identified two companies, Cendant, which owns Sierra, and GT Interactive Software, that make violent computer games, said Dan Wolter, a spokesman.
