[TYPO3] data from tt_news table

[La Farge Douglas]

I'm trying to grab a piece of data from a know record id in a tt_news  
table. The following code took the day off and isn't working:

#select short from tt_news where uid=18;
temp.details = CONTENT
temp.details{
wrap = (|)
table = tt_news
select.uidInList = 18
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj.field = short
}


I've run the query and get the proper results

I know I am returning "something" to the template - () is returned  
empty.

thanks,
