...case police aided prosecutors to build. For example, transcripts of testimony dated Aug. 20, 1998, supposedly incriminating the men, included references to events that transpired months later. Prosecutors are appealing that ruling, but it still raises serious doubts about the pending trial of accused Erignac assassin Yvan Colonna. Their case against Colonna was built around accusations co-defendants made to police, but have since recanted. The embarrassing reversal followed allegations that security forces tortured suspected gia members during investigations into the 1995 bombings. A book, Place Beauvau: The Hidden Face of the Police, published in early February, explores security operations...

...days later, Jean Colonna, the brash boy of grunge Parisian avant-grade, presented his fall collection of women's and men's clothing at the Institute of Contemporary Art. The event was a fundraiser for the Institute, the ideal location to the introduce Colonna's hybrid clothing. Both the women's and men's wear combined tight-fitting polyesters, black and silver leathers and a transparent, paper-like material. The models came swaggering down the runways in provocative, fluid movements, some dancing exotically to the grinding heavy metal. The whole event was very "in your face" with the women wearing...
