Kushner held on to the tape for several months. The complaint doesn't accuse him of trying to blackmail the ex-employee during this period (although, in an unnecessarily ribald aside, the complaint notes that Kushner watched the video and "expressed satisfaction"). In May, for reasons that defy immediate explanation, he sent a copy of the tape to the man's wife, who turned it over to federal law enforcers. Although the complaint omits the other players' names, it wasn't long before they were leaked: the wife is Kushner's sister Esther. The ex-employee is Kushner's brother...
...North Korean writers, the first such get-together in nearly 60 years. And to the surprise of foreign observers, new topics are appearing in North Korean fiction: poverty, starvation, even the hint that not all officials are paragons of virtue. In 2002, state presses released Hwang Jin Yi, a ribald historical novel by Hong Seok Jung, which will be published in South Korea in September.

Nor was the notion of releasing a jazzy, largely instrumental number in two parts; the year before, drummer Cozy Cole enjoyed a two-sided hit with ?Topsy.?

Everybody in Japan knows that for journalistic thrills, you turn not to the nation's bland, daily newspapers but to its ribald, tabloid weeklies. They carry everything from celebrity gossip, true crime and light porn to serious investigative reports and political expos?s. But some of the publications that pride themselves on embarrassing the rich and powerful are finding that their targets are now striking back. Last week the Tokyo district court ordered Shukan Bunshun to halt the distribution of its current issue?after 740,000 of the magazine's 770,000 print run had already been shipped to stores...
...when such figures were not ubiquitous TV presences. More often, Paar made news by being himself-a softy quick to anger, quick to cry-and by keeping his audience guessing what mood Jack would be in tonight. One night, annoyed by the NBC censor's cutting of a mildly ribald anecdote, he walked off the show. And a month later, he walked back...
