...many cases doubtless go unreported, especially in cities where complaints have to be filled out at the station house that is the home base of the very officers against whom the charge is being brought. "The general feeling out on the streets is that you can't get justice when a cop mistreats you," says Norman Siegel, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. Many blacks believe, with considerable cause, that if the King beating had not been recorded, complaints about the case would have been discounted...
...Martelli declared that "this exodus cannot continue." The vast majority of Albania's visitors are "not political refugees but economic refugees," he said, and as such they fail to qualify for asylum under Italian law and will be returned home within a few days by Italian ships. That decision, doubtless influenced by Italy's 11% unemployment rate, was the most dramatic display to date of Western Europe's growing reluctance to receive waves of immigrants from the East...
Jacksonville Shipyards has refused to comment on the ruling. Under the federal-court decision, the company must institute an antiharassment policy and take down the photos. But it will doubtless be a long time before similar displays are removed from work sites around the U.S. Technically, the decision applies only to Judge Melton's jurisdiction and is unlikely to spur a surge of harassment suits elsewhere. Besides, says Boston University law professor Kathryn Abrams, "pornography is considered in the tradition of good old, all- male fun, so it's going to be very hard to change." Hard, but no longer...
...further discussion of the O.A. is quite to the point--he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key. "Wake Up The Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable," on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, antiacademic languor at this stage as well may match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists--at times, indeed, approaching the ludicrous--that smile...
Saddam would also have to consider the inevitable outrage of the international community, which has banned the use of biological weapons since 1975. Resort to germ warfare would doubtless provoke devastating reprisals. "Saddam would be insane to use biological agents," says Matthew Meselson, a biological-weapons expert at Harvard University. Still, the Iraqi leader has ignored international opinion before. During the Iran-Iraq conflict, he employed poison gas against Iranian infantry and his own Kurdish population. The main impact of germ warfare on American soldiers may be psychological. Says Robert Weinberg, a germ-warfare expert at M.I.T.: "The very notion...
