International 2-4 TROUBLE IN GERMANY Two years ago, Chancellor Kohl was the most powerful leader of a resurgent Europe and acted as if he knew it. Today, a year and a half after German unification, he seems much less self-assured, his authority at home and abroad shaken by political and social turmoil. 1

WHAT happens when 12 inexperienced student photographers are assigned to one of the biggest picture stories in the United States, and then told to fend for themselves against some of the most experienced photojournalists around? They learn fast. That's what Boston University's College of Communication discovered during the Presidential primary in New Hampshire in February.

Images of Catastrophe as Corporate Ballyhoo

As everyone over 5 must know by now, Benetton has been appropriating the news for its ads. In March, Vogue rudely slapped six pages of the company's ads between beauty creams and luxe: three double-page spreads of a bombed-out car ablaze in the street, Albanian refugees climbing desperately onto a packed ship, and a young man dying of AIDS in his father's arms. In last month's issue of Interview, an Indian couple waded through a flood for Benetton; in Vanity Fair and Details, refugees scrambled into a boxcar and an armed soldier held a large bone behind his back. (In Italian publications only, a murdered Mafia victim lay in a pool of blood.)

How Dinkins Strove to Keep the Peace
Date: 03 May 1992

At 6:30 Wednesday night, Mayor David N. Dinkins received a telephone call in his private quarters at Gracie Mansion, his official residence. The message was urgent. A jury had just acquitted four white Los Angeles police officers in the beating of Rodney G. King, a black motorist. The danger was obvious, recalled Leland T. Jones, the Mayor's press secretary. The King case had been a well-publicized symbol of police brutality to many, whites as well as blacks. The acquittal of policemen, often a flashpoint for violence in urban communities, had brought Los Angeles to the brink. Could New York be next?

British TV Station Defies Order to Identify Source
Date: 03 May 1992

William Schmidt
A television station's defiance of a court order demanding the identity of a man who took part in a broadcast about terrorism in Northern Ireland has become a major test of how far British journalists can go in protecting the confidentiality of their sources. Executives at the London-based station, Channel Four Television, said on Friday that they would continue to resist the court order, which was brought by the Crown Prosecution Service at the request of the police last fall under the 1989 Prevention of Terrorism Act. They said that to surrender the name of the man would put his life, and perhaps the lives of others, at risk.

Separate Is Not Equal
Date: 03 May 1992
To the Sports Editor: Marsha Charney's letter (Mailbox, March 29) called for The Times to cover women's sports in a manner equal to how men's sports are covered. Particular reference was made to college basketball. My view is that if they must exist as a separate entity, women's sports should continue to be covered based solely on newsworthiness, and not on the basis of an artificial, unenlightened concept such as equality between the sexes. Men's and women's basketball are on different planets when it comes to talent, popularity, complexity, historical significance, economics or any other way they can be compared, and newspapers should cover the two accordingly.

'Right to Know' Is Not Unlimited
Date: 03 May 1992
To the Sports Editor: Barry Lorge mentioned in "Tennis's Conspiracy of Compassion for Arthur Ashe," (The Times, April 12) that, journalistically, it is difficult to justify withholding newsworthy information once it has been confirmed. I suppose "newsworthy" can be put into the same category as "the public's right to know." However, what most people are unaware of is that "the public's right to know" is not an unlimited one. In fact, it is a very limited right to know, restricted to the information a person needs to perform as a citizen. Anything beyond that is simply to sell newspapers. Arthur Ashe was done a cruel disservice by the newspaper that had the information and rationalized that it was the public's right to know and consequently printed it. Outrageous.
