...sentence, the U.S. Attorney for Houston, J.A. ("Tony") Canales, himself a Mexican American, brought federal charges against Denson, Orlando and a third policeman, Joseph Janish, 24, on charges of conspiracy and violating Torres' civil rights. He acted under a new Justice Department policy inaugurated by Attorney General Griffin Bell that allows federal trials for defendants previously tried at the state level when this is necessary "to vindicate broader principles...
That explanation hardly satisfied Houston's outraged Mexican Americans, who staged a protest march through downtown Houston. "I think our community is at the end of its rope," cried State Representative Ben Reyes. Similarly angered by the second light verdict, Prosecutor Canales last week obtained Bell's personal approval and then filed a rare legal challenge to Judge Sterling's sentence, demanding prison terms of ten years.

The investigation, which mostly involves charges that have been aired in the press and looked into by a Senate committee, is being directed by a trio of lawyers within the Justice Department, named by Attorney General Griffin Bell last November. The lawyers and their aides have presented some evidence in the glacially slow-moving investigation to a grand jury in Atlanta, since that is the area in which any law violation would have occurred...
...Belle de Jour. Arguably Luis Bunuel's most gripping study of eroticism, and certainly one of the old master's all-time achievements. This 1967 release documents the plunge of a stunning Catherine Deneuve into the abyss of masochism, highlighted by brilliantly filmed vignettes of surrealism and as bizarre plot twist, bringing Deneuve's wife of a Parisian physician (Jean Sorel) to the doors of a brothel for a job. Only his classic "Los Olivados" approaches the eeriness of the dream sequences in "Bell de Jour," and relative newcomers to Bunuel's work should mark down this Sunday's showing...
