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."

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?"

Topics of The Times; Dangerous Estate

Date: 11 October 1992

Turkey's new coalition Government promised to move vigorously against human rights abuses when it took office last November.

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.

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.
