...videos was wobbly and out of focus, but clear enough to shock Canadians last week as they watched late-night national television news. One of the tapes showed soldiers of the elite Airborne Regiment at Petawawa, Ontario, a base 115 km northwest of Ottawa, participating in vicious and racist hazing rituals in 1992. In one scene a black recruit crawled across the ground, with symbols declaring ``I love the Ku Klux Klan'' daubed in excrement on his back. Another soldier was shown being forced to eat urine-soaked bread. The second tape depicted Airborne members in Somalia in 1993, where...

Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again, it is not that A.E.'s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it. "The 20th century has never recovered from the effects of Marx and Freud" (V.G.); "but whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is difficult to say." (A.E.) Now one such might be droll enough...
...superstar Michael Jackson today brought a $100 million lawsuit against Paramount Pictures, the producers of "Hard Copy," calling a January 9 report aired by the TV tabloid show "slanderous, vicious and wholly fabricated." Diane Dimond, the "Hard Copy" reporter for the segment, claimed that a videotape had surfaced, allegedly showing Jackson sexually involved with a young boy, and that prosecutors had reopened their child molestation case against the singer. The Los Angeles District Attorney's office has denied that it is investigating such a tape. Also named in the suit: "Hard Copy" producer Stephen Doran, two hosts...
