...police officer who was present who came forward to implicate his colleagues. Safir told TIME, "We are going to make sure the perpetrators...go to jail." Giuliani's critics say the mayor's concern is too little, too late. Civil claims paid by the city to those who sue charging police brutality have risen from $13.5 million in 1992 to $32 million last year, and 90% of all police-brutality cases in New York are filed by nonwhites. Safir says civilian complaints about police in New York were actually down 20% in the first half of this year, but critics...
Here's a new trick DAVID COPPERFIELD's learning: if you can't make something disappear, sue the people who created it. Paris Match says Copperfield's long engagement to CLAUDIA SCHIFFER is an illusion--something millions of males would dearly love to believe. The mag published a contract between Copperfield's German promoter and Schiffer that showed she was paid $20,000 for attending the 1993 show where the two met.

Mother warned you not to play with your food--and don't insult the legumes either. Thirteen states now have so-called veggie-libel laws that allow farmers to sue anyone who unfairly claims their products are dangerous to eat. Agricultural lobbyists argued for these laws after apple growers saw their sales plummet following a 60 Minutes report that Alar, a chemical used in the apple industry, may cause cancer. The threat of libel, First Amendment advocates fear, could put a clamp on public debate of legitimate health concerns, especially as food producers explore new agricultural techniques such as irradiation...
