Lifelong Democrat Richardson gave only halfhearted support to such Hearst causes as I Am An American Day and the career of Marion Davies. But when Marion's brother-in-law was slugged one night, Cop Hater Richardson gleefully pounced on Hearst's notion that law-abiding Los Angeles was in the grip of a crime wave. As a result of City Editor Richardson's fearsome crime statistics (including the number of sidewalk spitters), the Los Angeles police department was doubled at a cost of millions a year.

But last week Prince Salaheddine, boisterous third son of the Bey of Tunis, languished in a jail charged with attempted murder of a police inspector (he had played once too often his favorite game of driving full speed toward a cop and slamming on the brakes just in time).

Scarpia, chief of the Roman police, became a Communist cop, and his enemies, the Bonapartists, became simply freedom fighters or "subversives." All told, Gutman had to doctor only 25 lines. The underling of Act II who formerly rushed in to announce that Bonaparte had won the battle of Marengo, now cries: "Our tanks were fired upon!" Tosca (Soprano Beverly Sills) hears...
...Beach car dealer and got a good trade-in on his battered '54 Oldsmobile. The auto dealer made a routine title check with Brookline, Mass., where the car had been bought. When the clothing salesman picked up his new Chevrolet, a Massachusetts state police lieutenant and a Miami cop arrested him. The charge: kidnaping...
