Al Sharpton to the maximum of 5 to 15 years in prison, despite a plea for leniency by Mr. Sharpton himself. Rising in the courtroom to speak to Justice Francis X. Egitto before the sentencing, Mr. Sharpton urged a lesser sentence for his assailant, Michael Riccardi, said a spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office.

Since the execution-style slaying of their former editor in chief last week, staff members of the city's largest Spanish-language daily newspaper have begun to feel they are on the front lines of a war with an unknown enemy. Death threats began to come into the switchboard at the paper, El Diario-La Prensa, almost immediately after the news of the death of the editor, Manuel de Dios Unanue, hit the streets.

The special counsel trying to find out who disclosed accusations of sexual harassment against Judge Clarence Thomas retreated today from his demand for the home telephone records of the two journalists who first reported the allegations. Instead, the counsel, Peter E. Fleming of New York, set up a situation in which the Senate Rules Committee would have to decide whether reporters had the right to withhold their telephone records from Senate investigators.

New York City police yesterday issued a composite sketch of the suspect in the killing of an editor and writer who specialized in stories about drugs and politics, and Commissioner Lee P. Brown said detectives were working round the clock on the case. A dozen Hispanic journalists had gone to the commissioner to press for more effort in finding the killer of Manuel de Dios Unanue and left saying, as one of them put it, that "a lot more was being done than we realized."

Stop the Senate's Leak Madness

Date: 18 March 1992

With its subpoenas for phone records, the Senate moved from mischievous hazing of three journalists to invasion of privacy in its fruitless quest for leakers from last year's confirmation of Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice. Fortunately, the investigator who issued the subpoenas has slowed the search and will consult the Senate Rules Committee before trying to enforce them. That gives the committee a chance to bring this crazy quest to a halt. Unchastened by ridicule over his attempts to question reporters, the investigator, Peter Fleming, issued subpoenas for telephone records of long-distance calls from the reporters' homes and offices. It's part of an inquiry that from the outset has endangered confidential dealings between reporters and sources, and thus the flow of important information to the public.

Ever since "The Selling of the President" appeared in 1969, it has been a common complaint among voters that they are not getting the real story of the Presidential campaign.

Newsmen in Peril

The hotel phone woke me up in the middle of the night. Bernadette Pardo, a reporter, and Carlos Corrales, a cameraman, at television station WLTV, Univision's Miami affiliate, had been the target of an assassination attempt in Medellin, Colombia. They had been covering the war on politicians, judges and journalists in narco-terrorists' desperate effort to prevent the extradition of drug dealers to the United States. On Sept. 5, 1989, Miss Pardo and Mr. Corrales narrowly escaped becoming two more victims. The image of a blood- and debris-covered Miss Pardo at a demolished restaurant haunts me to this day. She suffered two fractured vertebrae, a broken collar bone, and flying glass slashed the tendons in her right arm. Mr. Corrales suffered a broken ankle.

Observer; Ganga Nostra Days

The rich compote of gangster lore filling New York newspapers takes me back to 1935 when I entertained the idea of a career in gangstering. I had seen Paul Muni and George Raft do it and admired the elegant cars, expensive suits and fancy fedoras that were standard gangster equipment. On the negative side, Muni and Raft spent a lot of time listening to Ann Dvorak sing about Casey Jones at the piano. Joan Blondell tickling the ivories at my hideout might have been tolerable, but Ann Dvorak was not my type.
