...forthcoming deposition into a spectator sport. Lawyers for several media companies had resurrected an obscure turn-of-the-century law that says such occasions "shall be open to the public as freely as are trials in open court."

I admit freely that it bothered me when Xander Berkeley turned traitor in Air Force One (although he?s an underrated character actor who was the best non-silicon-based thing in the Pamela Anderson vehicle Barb Wire).
