WASHINGTON, D.C.: In an abrupt reversal, Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze ordered diplomat Gueorgui Makharadze to remain in the U.S. to face a possible second-degree murder charge. Makharadze, the No. 2 envoy at the Georgian Embassy, had reportedly booked a Saturday flight to Georgia on Thursday after receiving instructions to return home amid a growing outcry to revoke his diplomatic immunity. Makharadze was involved in a high-speed five-car pileup a week ago that killed a teenage girl. Although it appeared at the time that alcohol was a factor in the wreck, Makharadze was not tested because...
...YORK CITY: Police and city officials in New York are cheering an impressive, but somewhat uncomfortable crime statistic. For the first time since 1968, the number of murders committed in the city will drop below 1,000. As of Tuesday morning, the total stood at 978 deaths, fewer than half 1990's grisly record 2,245 killings. The symbolic importance of the 1,000-murder mark has not been lost on the Police Department or the press. In the days before New Year?s, the New York Post ran the tally each day on what looked like a big odometer...

...racist entitled to as fair a trial as a pornographer? The good people of Mississippi--all right, the bad white people--gave Byron De La Beckwith every benefit of the doubt in his 1964 trials for the murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers. Two hung juries and a quarter- century later, a Jackson prosecutor (Alec Baldwin, who's good in a tough role) reopens the case, goaded by Evers' widow Myrlie (Whoopi Goldberg). He has a chance: this time the gabby, unrepentant Beckwith (James Woods) is facing a jury that is largely black...
...occasional decent one (A League of Their Own)--got even bumpier. In 1993 she starred in Body of Evidence, a steamy courtroom drama that bombed with critics and audiences. She complains that the script was changed so that her character, a sex-obsessed vixen on trial for murder, was killed in the end. "In all the movies of the '40s the bad girl has to die," she says. "What I loved about the role was that she didn't die. And in the end, they killed me. So I felt that I was sabotaged to a certain extent. For some...
