A Detroit Judge as Attention-Getting as His Case

Date: 30 July 1993

Even at celebrated trials, judges often stay in the background, taking the spotlight only when it is time to charge the jury. But in the beating trial that has consumed Detroit for two months, Judge George W. Crockett 3d has been very much at center stage -- a figure as complicated as the case itself. He has spent much of his 54 years doing battle -- with mental illness, with McCarthyism, with The Detroit News. Last month he stunned the courtroom and the press by sentencing a 23-year-old summer intern at The News to five days in jail for telephoning a juror in the case.

The Mets held two closed-door meetings before last night's game against the Florida Marlins in an attempt to address their plummeting public image and their increasingly volatile relationship with the New York-area news media. Reporters were not allowed in the clubhouse before the game as the players met first with Manager Dallas Green and the assistant vice president, Gerry Hunsicker, then with Donald Fehr, the president of the Players Association. Fehr had called an emergency meeting to discuss what he termed "an adversarial relationship between some members of the club and members of the media."

Campaigns are long, voters unpredictable and the conventional political wisdom can sometimes be as meaningful as a candidate's latest press release.

Dinkins would suffer significant political damage from the release of a voluminous state report that criticized sharply his administration's handling of the Crown Heights disturbances two years ago.

Editorial Notebook: Not an Anchorman in Sight; War Correspondents Remember Korea

Date: 29 July 1993

By James L. Greenfield

Last weekend, vaguely inspired to commemorate the Korean armistice signed 40 years ago this week, some 100 correspondents who had covered the Korean War traveled to Washington D.C. to reminisce together. War stories were out. Blue blazers were in. Most, it turned out, had retired since the group's last reunion 10 years ago. That made this gathering feel more like a country club weekend than a convention of old barracks mates. No one took a formal poll, but former CBS correspondent Lou Cioffi, at a reported 67, was considered the youngest. His white ponytail seemed to clinch the title.

By Bloomberg News

Bloomberg News

The Milken Institute for Job and Capital Formation said yesterday that Americans cited "corporate executives being paid too much" as a leading cause of job losses. The institute, a private, nonprofit research group, may seem an unlikely source for assertions that executives are being paid too much money. It is named for its chairman, Michael R. Milken, who in 1987 alone was paid $550 million in salary and bonuses by his former firm, Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc.
