...about him in 1994. "After McGennis was convicted [in 1998] Cardinal Connell issued a press statement saying he had cooperated with the police," says Collins. "It was a total lie, not just to me but to the people." The Dublin archdiocese now has 26 abuse cases pending. A television expos? two weeks ago described a variety of serious lapses in the way the archdiocese has dealt with abusing priests, prompting Connell to declare "my own deep regret for serious inadequacies in our response." He has named a commission headed by a respected former judge to investigate. But it appears...
...windows?and five security guards?before swiping the motherboard from the surveillance system and making their escape. Lai can't seem to stay out of trouble in Taiwan. Last week's events, Lai's third run-in with the triads, were probably a response to a hard-hitting expos? of the Heavenly Way gang that ran in August; the magazine is still dodging official flak from a story it broke last spring about an illegal government slush fund. Complains chief editor Pei Wei: "The police and prosecutors have worked as the authorities' hitmen, trying to keep the media from reporting...

Didn't matter: Meyer always poured so much kinetic Kickapoo Joy Juice into his social parodies that few but the prudish could take offense. "Lorna" was not only big at "the ticket wickets," it pleased the rubes, not to mention the movie exhibitors who made money from them. "What a joy to see on a warm romantic Kansas City night," Bev Winter, a Kansas City film broker, wrote to Meyer - "a full drive-in with all those cars shakin...
...movie was, on its initial release, as much elegy - even eulogy - as expos?. It may seem more so today, when some of us get a wistful kick seeing how nattily the nasties dressed back then, as if for the funeral of those character they were trying to assassinate. Like all old movies, this one is a documentary: a precious, permanent record, not just of the vanished Broadway landmarks, the mausoleums of cafe society, the media mammoths at the very moment they were becoming dinosaurs, but of a bygone film style and an acting style. Today, that sort of directorial...
