Cuba Moves to Silence a Growing Voice of Journalism
Date: 07 April 1996

In the six weeks since Rafael Solano was arrested and taken to the villa that houses Cuba's feared state security compound, the telephone in the journalist's home has rung like clockwork every 27 minutes, day and night, a persistent reminder to his family and his colleagues who gather there that the work they do is considered treason by the Cuban Government. Usually, there is no one on the line. Occasionally a voice mutters threats.

You Have Now Entered the Black Hole of American Politics

This could be the longest intermission in the history of American political theater. So many states moved up the dates of their party elections, in a largely futile quest for more influence, that this year's Presidential primary season ended literally days after it began. President Clinton never faced a rival for the nomination; Senator Bob Dole had dispatched his most threatening ones by the first week of March.
New Poll Finds Strength for Dole On Personal and Political Traits

Though Senator Bob Dole was ridiculed by his rivals in the Republican primaries as unelectable in November, he shows considerable strength against President Clinton on many traits, including leadership, personal values and his vision for the country, the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. The findings set the stage for what could be a closely matched general election contest. Despite Mr. Dole's greater personal appeal, Mr. Clinton continues to maintain a comfortable lead over him in trial heats, in part because many voters say they want the President re-elected if for no other reason than to have a check on the Republican Congress.
NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: BAYSIDE;'Disneyfort' Joke Was a Panic

It didn't match Orson Welles's "War of the Worlds" Halloween hoax, but a Queens weekly newspaper provoked a small panic last week with an article on Disney's ground-breaking ceremony for a theme park at Fort Totten. The date atop the page: April Fool's Day. "I knew right away that it was a joke," Dr. Barry M. Stein, a Bayside exercise physiologist, said of the article in The Queens Tribune. If the picture did not look fake enough, Dr. Stein said, the byline -- Vito Powers -- should have been a giveaway.
2 Deaths -- One Then, One Now;On Losing a Father, A Newspaperman

JOURNALISM is not just a job. Any reporter who is good at what he does believes this on some level, no matter how he tries to wrap the sentiment in cynicism. I don't know how others came to that conviction, but in my case it was thrust upon me, accepted as part of family lore. I was 11 months old when my father died in 1942, killed as a war correspondent for The New York Times by friendly fire in the Pacific. I have no memory of him; nor does my brother, Bob, who was two and a half years older and who stood at the door and watched him walk away, a towering figure in khaki uniform with a dashing moustache that stands out in all the photographs.

Questioning Role Of District Attorney
Date: 07 April 1996
The article "Pirro Assailed Over News Breaks" (March 3) touched a very sore spot. I am one of many people who are angry over the way Randall Forrest, dean of students, was treated when he reported for arraignment at the Greenburgh police station on Feb. 13. The major television networks and the press were there. One might say they were only doing their job. That night, however, as I watched the 10 and 11 P.M. network news reports, I was even more sickened by the appearance of the Westchester District Attorney Jeanine Pirro and horrified by her statements. She admitted that in the case of Dean Forrest, these were only allegations of sexual misconduct involving a student. She added, and I quote her loosely, that her office must take such charges seriously. She then suggested that there were possibly other victims, invited them to come forth, in this case or in others.
