...allowing officers to work off-duty at the place where she had passed out. The N.O.P.D. pulled its cops. Club workers say they then had no easy way to get dealers arrested. They say that maybe 10 times, they caught dealers and then called the N.O.P.D. or a local agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to arrest them. "But no one would ever come get these people," laments a club employee. George Cazenavette III, who runs the DEA's New Orleans office, says he can't comment on that charge. N.O.P.D. commanders deny they ever ignored calls from...

Flannigan takes the word "professional" to another level entirely, transforming halfway through the movie from one unconvincing role to another. First, she is caring, wide-eyed, in awe of Cross, then suddenly she is cruel and contemptuous in a plot twist worthy of the trashy swamp thriller Wild Things. But that's divulging too much already...
...build up the community. Now the owner of a restaurant and a travel agency, Holland has also founded a shelter for the homeless. ''I know that coming to Harlem shut the door to Wall Street,'' says he. ''But I can look at a healthy man, a full-time travel agent, who came through my homeless program two years ago strung out on crack. I have absolutely no regrets...
