...teenage girls allegedly by an attractive, seemingly perfect young couple. To ensure a fair trial for defendant Paul Teale, 29, who is also charged with 50 sexual assaults, a Canadian court has banned detailed reporting on the murder cases and on the earlier trial of Teale's wife Karla Homolka, 23. But now that information has seeped across the border via press accounts, fax machine and computer, the dispute is turning prickly as U.S. allegiance to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" brushes up against Canadian fealty to "peace, order and good government...
...controversy first began to simmer last July, when Ontario Judge Francis Kovacs banned substantive coverage of Homolka's trial and barred foreign journalists from his courtroom. Even after Homolka was sentenced to only 12 years for the barbaric deaths of two girls, the press could not report the obvious: that she had struck a plea. Canadian journalists who had attended the trial itched to write, as the Post eventually did, about how Leslie Mahaffy, 14, was hacked to bits and encased in concrete blocks, and Kristen French, 15, was held hostage for almost two weeks before her body was deposited...
...from Saboteur, an American film Hitchcock did during the Second World War, which features a great duel-to-the-death atop the torch of the Statue of Liberty, prefiguring the brilliant kitch Americana of the Mt.

...have written about him. "To those of all times who have sought truth and who failed to tell it in their art or in their lives, and who now are dead." The photographic portraits of Agee, on the front and back of the issue by Walker Evans and Florence Homolka, and those in the body of the issue by Helen Levitt, show how real was Agee's own sense of failure. The Advocate falls down in its innocence of Agee's fear of his own failures, personal and creative...
...letters to herself, lives in a mansion and worries equally about her 9-ft. feather boa and the loss, many years past, of her only lover. She would seem to be easy prey for a cartel of international shysters (Yul Brynner, Paul Henreid,* Charles Boyer, Donald Pleasence and Oscar Homolka among them) who have discovered oil under the old lady's property. But she will not be moved, and she wins the aid of some colorful companions-a ragpicker (Danny Kaye), a waitress (Nanette Newman) and a young student activist (Richard Chamberlain). In the end, she overcomes, imprisoning...
