Hi,

with 

In[]:=lst = {{1, A},
{1, B},
{2 , B},
{3, C}, {3, D}, {1, D}};

and 

In[]:=
AdjacenceMatrix[lst : {{_, _} ..}] := Module[
    {actors,events adj},
    {events, actors} = Union /@ Transpose[lst];
    adj = Table[0, {Length[events]}, {Length[actors]}];
    Scan[(Part[adj, Sequence @@ #] = 1) &, 
      lst /. MapIndexed[Rule[#1, First[#2]] &, actors]];
    adj
    ]

you get

In[]:=AdjacenceMatrix[lst]
Out[]={{1, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 1}}

Regards
  Jens
