...high-profile Interior Minister is called, is a ragbag of internal-security measures whose targets include gypsies, beggars and gangs found loitering in hallways, as well as hookers and pimps. The brief section devoted to prostitution abolishes a previous distinction between active and passive soliciting to create a new arrestable offense. Police will be able to detain people they suspect of soliciting for sex and hold them for up to 48 hours. If charged and found guilty, prostitutes face two months in prison and a j3,750 fine. Nicolas Sarkozy insists that his real targets are the pimps and gangs...
Sources tell TIME of one intriguing arrest that resulted from these call-ins: a Saudi student at a Florida aviation school was detained after he ignored a legal requirement to check in with the INS within 30 days of entering the U.S. Officials say he is being held in jail and investigated.

Galtieri was imprisoned in 1986 for his "incompetence" during the Falklands war, and before his death was under house arrest. About 15,000 dissidents perished during the eight-year "dirty war," according to human-rights groups. Galtieri once said he had "no regrets...
