...Epstein's Liquor Authority investigators, Ernest Moss, 39, and Maurice Bernstein, 36, also refused to waive immunity when called before the grand jury. Both were later indicted on charges that they tried to extort $1,000 from the owner of a West Side bar. Two weeks ago, Moss threw himself under a subway train and killed himself...

Mr. Wickline's artform, which is paint splashed on layers and levels of sand, burlap, and reindeer moss, offers no solution. The titles of his displayed works are "Entourage," "Into Night," "Still Night," "Quiet Harbor," "Impending," "Dusk, Autumn," and "Dawn Spring," all captured by odd strips and lumps of color in black backgrounds...
