...York supreme court issued a ruling that made it more difficult, at least in that state, to question very young children suspected of crimes. Three years earlier, a seven-year-old Queens boy named Julian B. had allegedly pushed two-year-old Reggie Clegg from the roof of an apartment building. Under questioning, Julian admitted that he had shoved Reggie from the roof after an argument over a toy car.

No less direct was the Carmen of mezzo-soprano Suzanna Guzman, a fire-eating singing actress who played straight to the video cameras, giving a devastatingly sexy performance full...
...back door. Imagine landing a role opposite Harrison Ford--the No. 1 box-office draw in the world--but your manager says the new "love of your life" may cost you the juicy part. Imagine--miracle of miracles!--that you get the lead anyway, but the studio hits the roof when rumors spread that you're pregnant with this new love. Now imagine that a $70 million investment rides on your performance--and on your love life...
