Man in the News; Policing and Image: William Joseph Bratton
Date: 03 December 1993
By Felicia R. Lee

It was a few minutes before 1 P.M. in Police Commissioner William J. Bratton's office, but instead of being there, in the big room with the framed newspaper articles and models of old police cars, he was on television from New York City talking about his plans to become that city's police commissioner. His television appearance more or less epitomized why people either love or hate William Joseph Bratton. To his admirers, he came off as smooth and articulate, coolly confident of his ability to get the job done. To his detractors, it was yet another example of a man who is aloof and ambitious, often seeking the limelight for his own end.

A Bad Gag Order in Canada
Date: 04 December 1993
A Canadian judge has gagged his country's press from reporting about a notorious murder trial, ostensibly in the interests of fairness. The gag order is broad even by the standards of a Canadian judiciary that is far more tolerant of censorship than U.S. courts. To help enforce it, border police have been stopping trucks carrying U.S. newspapers to keep Canadians from learning what their neighbors to the south know about the case. This bizarre episode reminds us why the U.S. places a high value on public trials, reported in a free press. Two centuries of strife over freedom of the press have taught that gags on speech, even in the name of justice, are instruments of tyranny even when they fail at total suppression. With due respect to Canada's sovereign power and the judge's sincerity, his action is both futile (the news will get out) and wrong in principle.
