Perhaps unsurprisingly, Molski's attorney, Thomas Frankovich, says his client and the dozen or so serial ADA plaintiffs his firm has represented are activists and crusaders. Frankovich dubbed Molski (who does not have a criminal record) "the sheriff" because "he started going into town to clean it up." Frankovich says he has filed 223 ADA lawsuits on behalf of Molski. (Molski used other attorneys to file his other suits.) Frankovich says Molski began suing only after his letters to offending businesses were ignored. (Molski was out of the country and couldn't be reached for comment.) Says Frankovich: "Letters...

...Frankovich himself is being charged by the state bar of California on three counts of misconduct, stemming from ADA lawsuits he filed on behalf of Molski. One count alleges that Frankovich's litigation strategy amounted to a "scheme to extort money from defendants." Says Frankovich of the charge: "It's an absolute fabrication based on absolutely no supportive facts. Using the fact that he filed 223 lawsuits as evidence of a scheme is absurd. His rights were violated in 223 cases where significant architectural barriers existed...

...guys. Hairstylist Robert Winslow, 29, moved from a roomy loft in New York City's tony TriBeCa to a dingier but more spacious Brooklyn apartment without a kitchen, strictly to accommodate his vintage bikes. "I'm obsessive," he says. "My place is pretty much a garage." In May, Mike Frankovich, 25, a student and founder of the Hollywood Rat Pack scooter club, rode the entire length of U.S. Route 66 on his Vespa P200E...

...Curses on Producer Mike Frankovich, who was so smitten with 33-year-old Actress Liv Ullmann that he lowered the age of the fortyish heroine of Forty Carats (who has an affair with a 20-year-old boy). He has copped out on us women in our 40s who have married 20-year-olds. May he be run into by lady truck drivers, may all his female associates over 40 go on strike, and may Oscar evade him forever. Why can't Hollywood leave a good thing alone...

...naturally bridles at such comparisons, but Mike Frankovich says, "She has the same kind of vulnerability that Ingrid Bergman had. She has great sex, but it's innocent. We thought at first that she was much too young to play in Forty Carats, and she is. But all the other women who wanted the part were either invulnerable or too old. You can't believe that Liv has any promiscuity in her. Even if she has love affairs, she is discreet. In her movies, when she looks at someone...
