...door by reporting on a tabloid's reporting on a story." The value of Brokaw, a respected pro who wins journalism awards and dines at the White House, in such a cleanup operation is high. In April, Brokaw sanitized the use of the name of the alleged Palm Beach rape victim in the William Smith case under the guise of reporting on the ethics of a supermarket scandal sheet, which had used the name first. This purified the issue sufficiently for the New York Times, which ran a lurid profile of the woman the next day, violating most...
Shortly after the Iraqi officers left the Plaza, Khalid moved 32 women to a nearby mosque and determined that he would rather forfeit his life than aid in the planned rape. Sometime before morning, however, Colonel Rida and thousands of other Iraqi troops pulled out of the city. Over the next 24 hours, many of the retreating soldiers (and an undetermined number of Kuwaiti hostages accompanying them) died as allied aircraft bombed the highway that led back to Iraq.

He fled to the U.S., where he is hiding." U.S. investigators confirm the account but have little hope he will volunteer any secrets if he is located...
...have an abortion -- just as the presidential election season gets under way. Last week both houses of the Louisiana legislature overrode Governor Buddy Roemer's veto of a bill that would prohibit virtually all abortions, except to save the life of the mother or in some cases of rape or incest. The new law was rushed before a federal judge in New Orleans, who will hold a hearing next month on its constitutionality, the first step on the road to the Supreme Court, where antiabortion laws from Pennsylvania, Utah and Guam are also headed...
