Landry, reached yesterday in Cincinnati, would not comment on the case. But he said the accident occurred during the "routine delivery of refrigerators." HSA leased trucks from Ryder to deliver the refrigerators, Landry said...
PICK YOUR BASEBALL METAPHOR: MAJOR LEAGUE baseball owners could have benched Marge Schott, called strike three, hit her with a pitch. Instead they balked, bunted, let her off easy. Charges that the Cincinnati Reds owner used such phrases as "dumb lazy nigger" and "dirty Jews" led the owners' executive council to fine her $25,000 and give her a one-year suspension starting March 1.

...DOMESTICATED DAVID LYNCH? IT was looking bad for a while. After giving the medium a jolt with Twin Peaks, he let the series run too long on circuit overload. His next show, On the Air, was a heavy-handed TV satire just slightly to the left of WKRP in Cincinnati.

Four times the Klan put it up, and three times protesters knocked it down. The list of those arrested for anti-Klan actions included seven whites and six blacks. Ironically, the Klan...

Though this particular cross was not afire, its sponsorship by the hate group inflamed local opinion. A day before its erection, hundreds gathered in a candlelit protest. Hours after the appearance of the Klan krucifix, a pair of demonstrators toppled and trampled on it -- but the Klan...
