Whom would you believe: Christian Curry, who says he was fired by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter for appearing nude in a gay men's magazine? Or company officials, who say Curry was fired for lying on his expense reports? Would you believe police, who say Curry solicited an undercover cop to plant a racist e-mail in Morgan Stanley's computer system? Or Curry's lawyer, who says Morgan Stanley paid an informant to entrap Curry in order to discredit...
...leading Haitian immigrant Abner Louima into a bathroom, Volpe boasting about having sodomized Louima with a stick, Volpe brandishing said stick, Volpe returning bloodstained gloves to a fellow officer in the NYPD. And so Volpe's lawyer, local star Marvin Kornberg, never even presented a defense, and the disgraced cop is pleading guilty to all charges. He faces 25 years to life -- and will probably get more rather than less.

That came the night before, at a big G.O.P. wingding, when she surprised even some of her top supporters by laying out a gun-control agenda that calls for full federal funding for instant background checks, outlawing all cop-killer bullets, upholding the assault-weapons ban and mandating child-safety locks. The speech received at least one hearty boo, and when it was over, the applause was spotty. "I don't know what she was thinking," said a perplexed resident of the state whose motto is "Live Free or Die." "Half...
...Handed Path, whose lust for blood knows no limits. In a savage and seemingly senseless double-murder, a 14-year-old girl, Gabi, is kidnapped. Her father, Bob Hightower, with his ex-wife dead and his daughter missing, is more desperate than he ever imagined possible. A small-town cop, Bob frantically investigates every lead but as days turn into weeks, his last hope at finding his daughter is an ex-cult member, ex-junkie named Case. As these two hardened, taciturn creatures go off together in search of Bob's daughter, they are immersed in the heart...
