Prosecutor Thomas Puccio started off with a 30-min. video tape of a meeting in August 1979 between Myers and Errichetti and an undercover agent who called himself "Tony Devito" at a motel near New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport. On the tape, Myers boasted grandly of being able to fix the sheik's immigration problems, then gave some pungent advice: "I'm gonna tell you something real simple and short.

The curriculum, taught by the 82-member faculty, includes courses in science, the humanities and the social sciences, as well as mandatory classes...
...burst into television station KBCI'S newsroom two weeks ago. They were looking for video-taped interviews with inmates at the Idaho state penitentiary conducted by Reporter Bob Loy during a prison riot last month. As a dismayed Loy and his colleagues watched helplessly, the police spent 90 min. rummaging through their files and desk drawers before locating the tapes they wanted. Last week KBCI filed a civil complaint against the state and the local prosecutor claiming infringement of their First Amendment rights. Only two months earlier, police in Flint, Mich., had raided a local printing firm looking...
