The television screen explodes with a flash of light and a riff of hard rock. This is the "Bill of Rights," according to the rock group Aerosmith. "Freedom," declares Joe Perry, the lead guitarist of Aerosmith, is the right "to use handcuffs for friendly purposes." And, as he licks whipped cream off the chest of a gorgeous blonde, Perry says: "Freedom to wear whipped cream as clothing." Finally, as two blondes wearing American-flag suits hold up the rim of a gigantic condom, a voice off-camera intones: "Freedom to wear a rubber all day -- if necessary."

A parliamentary steering committee, dominated by Mr. Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia, dismissed the director of Slovakia's one television network on Wednesday on a charge of incompetence.

D'Amato to Keep Using Disputed TV Ad

Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato's campaign said yesterday that it had no intention of pulling a television commercial that uses a news clip of Geraldine A. Ferraro criticizing his rival, State Attorney General Robert Abrams, and First Amendment lawyers said Ms. Ferraro appeared to have no legal standing to block it, as she has threatened. Mr. D'Amato's camp also released another in a series of hard-hitting television ads, his 10th since the general election campaign began. Once again, the ad paints his Democratic opponent as a liberal who would raise taxes and cost jobs, ending with a narrator saying: "If Bob Abrams loses this election, he'll still have a job. But if he wins, will you and your neighbors still have yours?"

Turkey's new coalition Government promised to move vigorously against human rights abuses when it took office last November. A year later, there's little movement -- as shown, for example, by the the Government's appalling indifference to the serial murders of Turkish journalists. The other day Musa Anter, 74 years old, became the ninth journalist killed since February. Mr. Anter worked for pro-Kurdish publications, as did all but one of the victims. Few dispute that Turkey is seriously tormented by a tiny faction of Kurdish terrorists; it's the hunting license given to police and military that stirs criticism.

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Circle K Corporation filed an amended bankruptcy reorganization plan yesterday that would cancel the company's current stock and leave equity and bondholders with nothing. But the plan, which involves a $399.5 million buyout by the CK Acquisitions Corporation, faces opposition. An alternative reorganization plan for Circle K also was filed yesterday by Commonwealth Oil Refining Inc., and Circle K's bondholders are to file their own proposal in the near future. Under the plan, the $399.5 million that CK Acquisitions would pay to buy the company will be split among three creditor groups. About $210 million would be paid to bank creditors to satisfy claims of $370 million; senior note holders would be paid $132.5 million for $190 million in claims, and unsecured creditors would receive $57 million to satisfy $175 million to $225 million in claims, Circle K said.
