Order in the court, for Federal Judge Hubert I. Teitelbaum of Pittsburgh, apparently means keeping women in their place. During a civil proceeding, Teitelbaum, 73, threatened Attorney Barbara Wolvovitz with jail because she insisted on referring to herself as Ms. Wolvovitz rather than Mrs. Lobel, after her husband. Protesting in her behalf, Wolvovitz's co-counsel Jon Pushinsky found himself held in contempt and handed a 30-day suspended sentence for "officious intermeddling." When Wolvovitz asked for a mistrial last week, Teitelbaum said, "What if I call you sweetie...
...delivered in a winsome, not entirely wholesome voice, have a strange after-echo that makes them kissing cousins to the work of Lyle Lovett, 30, who has sung occasional harmony with Griffith but has more in common with an unorthodox satirist like Randy Newman. "I've never been to jail, never been arrested, and I don't do drugs at all," says Lovett, with no apparent regret. "It wouldn't work for me.

Building on more than 300 convictions of Teamsters and union-related Mob figures since 1970, the lawsuit portrays the leadership of the 1.6 million- member union as a front for the Mafia. Organized crime, charged Giuliani, "has deprived union members of their rights through...
...first hopped a freight during his student acting days to attend his grandfather's 90th birthday. "Each trip has edginess, adventure and beauty." Hopkins and his companions are headed for Yuma, Ariz., a wintertime hobo haven along the Colorado River. Since the bull had promised 30 days in jail and a $2,000 fine if further annoyed, everyone hid, returning well after midnight to catch the train. They succeeded, but with difficulty. Comfortable boxcars are giving way to sealed containerized loads. The riders settled for a chilly flatcar under a heaving truck, leaving Colton amid a terrifying anvil chorus...
