Then, last week, Federal Judge Frederick Lacey tore into Farber, accusing him of harboring mixed motives. Farber, it turns out, is writing a book about the Jascalevich case and has been given a $75,000 advance by Doubleday, his publisher. Charging that Farber has a financial stake in seeing Jascalevich convicted, Lacey declared: "This is a sorry spectacle of a reporter who purported to stand on his reporter's privilege when in fact he was standing on an altar of greed." How can Farber justify revealing information to a publisher for profit, demanded the judge...
...frills" is still his motto. When Skytrain Boss Freddie Laker learned that he was on Queen Elizabeth's Birthday Honors list, he let out the word: "I've been called Freddie all my life, and I'm not changing it to something highfalutin like Frederick simply because I've been knighted." But at the ceremony last week at Buckingham Palace, he wore a proper top hat and morning suit and told photographers: "If you think I'm going to do anything daft today, you're wrong."

Acheampong had called for a nonparty "union government" in which military officers would be included as advisers; Ghana's politically active professional class criticized "unigov" as a disguise for continued military rule. After they accused Acheampong of cheating on a unigov referendum, over 100 opponents were jailed...
Such pathology cannot be explained through quick-cut cinema verite. The pro gram's power rests not in analysis but in immediacy. The footage seems to have been shot in the fly-on-the-wall manner of Film Maker Frederick Wiseman, but the editing is both jumpier and crisper than in Wiseman's works. In one se quence, the camera pans up an icicle-festooned stairwell inside a Newark tenement, enters an apartment squalid beyond words and comes to rest on an infant cooing over its bottle. No one states the obvious: that child will never have...
