Extractions: In what was viewed as a victory for former Chicago Congressman Dan Rostenkowski, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that a trial court should reconsider whether 6 of 17 corruption charges against Rostenkowski should be thrown out. As a result of the ruling, it appears that at least four charges will be dismissed.

Extractions: A Look at the Increasing Debate The Issues around the Media and the Courts The key issue in the debate is the apparent clash within the Constitution between the First Amendment's right to a free press, and the Sixth Amendment's right to a fair trial in a speedy and public manner, by an impartial jury. To some it has been a debate between institutions, with different goals, while others believe that their goals (of justice) are essentially the same, but merely take on a different form from each other. But others believe that it is simply a debate between proper values and professionalism as institutions. In order to start our discussion it is appropriate to determine first if the amendments based on the founder's intentions actually do clash, and if so, whether or not one is more important than the other. The courts especially want fair trials and the media wants their right to a free and open press of the courts. But do the legal professionals do all that they can in order to preserve fair trials? And have those in the media abided by ethics in journalism when covering the courts and been responsible in doing so? Since these are both very important issues to the debate, the idea behind who each of these actors, as institutions, are supposed to serve first needs to be addressed. Based on the strict standards of both the law, the high court, and modern American Bar Association's professional code of ethics, that the justice system's primary function is not to serve the random interests of the public. Instead, prosecutors, defenders, and judges are to insure the best possible conditions for opposing sides to search out the truth in a dignified adversarial process. Their function is to insure the integrity of the institution, the Constitution, and to provide interpretation and enforcement of the law.

Extractions: Beyond Boundaries Whatever Happened to Public-Access Television? In the early days of cable television, Americans were told that certain channels would be open to all citizens. And in many towns, there are such channels. So why dont we have them here? by Joe Jackson Tuesday night, 7:30 p.m. You are channel surfing and stop at WCOX, Channel 11, where a New York strip steak sizzles temptingly on a grill. It is, of course, the long-running Grate Steak program. The camera pulls back and Irvine B. Hill, vice president of public affairs for Cox Communications, waxes poetic on meat: "Look at that steak! I bet it tastes wonderful." A waitress enthuses: "It sure does." Now switch to the same time on about 2,600 other channels nationwide. If you surfed to various public-access stations over the past decade, you might have found these: In Louisville, Kentucky, two men wore headsets and danced a nervous shimmy while singing Christian hymns karaoke-style. Afterwards, a Louisville investment broker hosted "Dollars and Sense," but did not sing. In Fairfax, "The LaRouche Connection," a talk show produced by supporters of jailed extremist Lyndon LaRouche, covered topics like food irradiation, the drug trade, and a claim that former president George Bush supported eugenics. Afterwards, the half-hour "Single Parent Show" covered issues and news affecting single-parent families.

But courts do acknowledge a person has a limited right to be left alone and free from unreasonable governmental searches under the Fourth Amendment. The courts have to strike a delicate balance between the competing forces of an individual's right to privacy and, the need for a safe society. In the debate over privacy rights, one thing is clear: there's a benefit to be gained from losing privacy.

Its former head is fighting extradition from Spain and its journalists fear that President Putin intends to stifle freedom of speech. The attention that the battle for NTV and its parent company has attracted is symptomatic of the importance television plays in Russian political life and the passions it arouses in viewers. by our special correspondents SYLVIE BRAIBANT and CAROLE SIGMAN* In the autumn of 1993 Russia underwent two revolutions, personified by two men and two images. The first revolution was a political one, symbolised by Boris Yeltsin and the battle for the White House in Moscow. The second revolution came a few weeks later when the Russian TV landscape exploded and Yevgeny Kiselyov started appearing, icon-like, on his Sunday television shows (1). Always carefully dressed in a white or pastel blue suit, Kiselyov is still there today gazing out from behind his distinctive eyeglasses. His commanding silhouette, enhanced by various subtle lighting effects, stands out elegantly against the metallic backdrop, fashioned after the universal American studio model.

As anyone with a T1 line can tell you, that's just not true. Only Hollywood seems to believe the ultimate use for a computer is to watch videos. Consumers aren't waiting for more digital-entertainment choices to sign up for broadband. They're waiting for better response from the phone and cable companies when they call to get high-speed service installed and for lower pricing. According to Forrester Research, 72% of existing Net users are willing to pony up only $25 a month for broadband, half of the average cost now.
Media Ethics: The TV Spectacle Of The Hill-Thomas Hearings and acceptance, laws which are applied and courts which are the dissolution of lifeinto tv. Likening the A subject of debate within postmodern cultural theory http://www.egs.edu/mediaphi/judy/ch3.html
Extractions: [Edward W. Said] The television camera has transformed our involvement with justice, as we sit in judgment while images on the screen draw us into action. The television image captivates the viewer commanding in-depth participation in every aspect of experience. The political context of the drama enfolds, and the viewer is given the task of untangling the powerful and complex web of race, gender and politics. The scenario of the Hill-Thomas hearings played itself out in the fast-paced medium of television, underlying the Thomas confirmation proceedings. The conflict between Hill and Thomas had all the features of a dream sequence: events out of order, improbable characters, intrigue and resolution brought to the public live through the mediator of television as a popular culture phenomenon. The country was given a sense of television's power to create intense involvement in a complex process, as it presented itself as a powerful medium for molding public opinion and reviewing the unresolved issues of racial and gender justice. The separation between public and private hearings were supported by commentary, recaps, updates and summarized reports accompanied by selected footage. Were the Hill-Thomas hearings a television courtroom drama, an attempt to obscure reality, a Hollywood sitcom, a war of the genders, with a charge of sexual harassment?

All journalists smoke. All journalists drink heavily. All journalists wear raincoats. All journalists have that dishevelled, just woken up look. All journalists have scruffy shoes. All journalists swear profusely. All journalists go to the pub every lunchtime and every evening, and sometimes even in the morning. All journalists eat badly, do little exercise, and have an unhealthy lifestyle. You know that what I have just said is nonsense. It is stereotyping of the worst kind and for that I apologise. I have lumped you all into one single, not particularly flattering identity. But, I hope it gives you some idea of my response when people assume that because I am Asian, I am bound to like curry, or that I pray to Mecca five times a day, or that I have an arranged marriage, or that I own a corner shop. Do not assume that just because someone is black he or she automatically likes reggae music, is a rastafarian and is into a life of crime and drug dealing. It is nonsense. It is the sort of stereotyping that simply reinforces prejudice.

Extractions: LEGAL Reynolds Reversed The House of Lords in Reynolds -v- Times Newspapers Background The former Taoiseach sued the Sunday Times in respect of an article relating to the political crisis in Ireland in 1994, which culminated in the resignation of Reynolds and the collapse of the coalition government. At the initial hearing the jury decided that the article was defamatory of Mr. Reynolds but he was awarded only 1p damages. At the trial the Sunday Times argued that the article was protected by the defence of qualified privilege which it argued should in effect apply automatically to reporting of political discussion. The judge rejected this. Both Reynolds and the Sunday Times appealed. The decision of the Court of Appeal extended and redefined the defence of qualified privilege. At the heart of the defence of qualified privilege has always been the test that material is only protected if there was a legal, moral or social duty to publish and the material was published to those who had corresponding interest in receiving it. The Court extended the practical ambit of the defence by recognising that this test could be satisfied when the media inform the public on a matter of general concern, as long as the circumstances of the publication in question satisfy an additional set of requirements ("the circumstantial test").

Extractions: The Right To Keep and Bear Arms by N. David King, with Jeff Forrest For years, especially in the more crowded eastern communities experiencing unacceptable rises in personal, violent crimes accompanied all too often with the abuse of a firearm a cry has gone up that something must be done to limit the access and/or availability to guns. Though often painted by the pro-gun lobby as hopelessly naive drones of THE communist conspiracy to take over this country (that's the one where there is an agent of the Kremlin skulking not just behind every bush but behind every undesirable action the country has ever taken), the truth is that many of these people were reacting normally and predictably to personal tragedy. Their lives had been negatively changed because someone with a gun killed a loved one or took their life savings or maimed them or a family member. They felt helpless in the face of a tool clearly presented to them in its primal form of an efficient killing device. It is difficult to be objective about such vague and long-ago-relevant concepts as addressed in the U.S. Constitution when your son has been killed, your husband has been turned into an ambulatory carrot, or some barely literate punk has decided that your hard earned money ought to be his for the taking because he has something you don't a

Just pull out your concealed handgun. One could day-dream over this delicious concept in endless variation. Pick up any of the many hand gun magazine and you will see that that is exactly what many men do. The problem is that none of the above Superman scenarios are true. While pulling out a concealed weapon in any of the above situations may turn some of them around momentarily, what is also just as likely to happen is that you will get yourself killed or thrown in jail.

Extractions: John B. Lundie,'00L University President John W. Elrod characterizes the Law Schools move to co-education as part of a program of choices made by the Law School administration in the late 1960s. At that time, the administration under the leadership of former Dean Steinheimer recognized that the legal profession had begun a fundamental change much broader than co-education. While the fact of women entering the profession in greater numbers was part of the changing legal profession, the scope of that change meant that the Law School would need to do much more than accept women. If the Law School was to continue to provide a legal education in the tradition of Washington and Lee, substantial resources would be required in order to insure that todays Law School would have the reputation it now enjoys. The first six women at the Law School entered a different Law School from the one that exists today. During the early 1970s, the Law School left its long-time home of Tucker Hall for the tremendously expanded premises of Lewis Hall. Along with these changes were the parallel growth in library materials, faculty hirings, and research activities that have resulted in todays Law School. President Elrod noted that this enormous growth was smoothly accomplished in large part because the need for these changes was so clear. A unanimous consensus among students, faculty and trustees determined the direction of the Law School.

Extractions: Wheelchairs and special Ed. by Captain Nemo When F.D.R. addressed congress a few days after Pearl Harbor, none of the major news media reporters mentioned his polio, or his wheelchair. They were carefull for nearly 12 years to avoid writing or talking about it on the radio. Now, a similar phenomenon is occurring, but with a different malady. Aparrently most of the reporters for the major media outlets have been given orders not to mention that the current "commander in chief" has attention deficit disorder, or something similar. The way they have decided to handle it is to say that they were suprised that "The president" could manage to remain "focused" long enough to deliver a speech or two last month. David McCulloch, the historian, said that he found it challenging to talk to the public about Bush's speech on one occasion. He was able to put a positive slant on it by saying that; "before now, people were beginning to wonder whether Bush could focus, but he rose to the occasion." One reporter said something to the effect that "it is OK that the president doesn't read books, he is busy doing things".
