Court rejects New 'Vork mayor NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was booted out of court—and said he deserved it. The mayor, a former federal pros ecutor, was in state Supreme Court on Monday for jury duty in a personal injury case involving an 85-year-old woman who fell and broke her hip. The mayor received a round of ap plause when his name was called in the jury room and some people ran up to seek autographs. Giuliani played the part of good citizen, sitting in a jury box with other potential jurors and answering lawyers’ questions. He said he could be impar tial. Nonetheless, he was dismissed, though he could be chosen as an alter nate juror when he returns to court Wednesday. Giuliani presumed one or both law yers didn’t want a mayor and former prosecutor on the jury. Referring to himself, he said lawyers tend to be pre disposed about “the whole process.” Exemptions that might have kept Giuliani fromjury duty were abolished Jan. 1. & $5,000 is price for Earhart trunk SAPULPA, Okla. (AP)—Luckily for antique collectors, Amelia Earhart didn’t have all her luggage aboard when she disappeared trying to fly around the world in 1937. A man paid $5,000 at an auction Saturday for a trunk the famed aviator left 61 years ago while visiting a local family farm. The buyer, John Beighle, said he bought the empty, cedar-lined trunk for someone else and would not comment further. The trunk bears a small metal plate inscribed with Earhart’s name. Louise Foudray, caretaker of the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum in Atchison, Kan., said Earhart’s name appears on a line of luggage that may date to the 1920s. The museum has three pieces of luggage bearing her name. “Amelia went a lot of places,” she said. “Old towns inOklahoma and Texas all have their stories about Amelia stopping there.” Boxcar Willie battles leukemia BRANSON, Mo. (AP)—Country singer Boxcar Willie is cutting short his season after being diagnosed with leukemia. Willie, who dresses like a hobo for his act, will undergo bone marrow test ing Wednesday and perform his final show of the season on Nov. 12. He was to have performed through Dec. 14. “He’s weak and not feeling well,” Willie’s secretary, Laura Joiner, said Monday. The 65-year-old entertainer, who performs at the Boxcar Willie Theatre, has dropped 40 pounds in recent months and has difficulty breathing. Dr. Ruth sued over sex site LOS ANGELES (AP) —Dr. Ruth Westheimer is making sex look like child’s play on the Internet with a de sign stolen from a well-known game, a toy company claims. The sex guru violated copyright laws when she used Mattel Inc.’s de sign for the “Farmer Says” game to promote sex-related material on the World Wide Web, the company said in a suit filed Monday. A representative for Westheimer was not immediately available for com ment. The Web page shows a multicol ored wheel with Westheimer in the cen ter and categories, such as “Sex Tips,” on panels surrounding her face. She also sells products on the site, includ ing a sex encyclopedia. Mattel’s “Farmer Says” toy uses a plastic circle with pictures of animals and words on it. A child points the ar row to an animal and when the string is pulled, the toy makes the animal noise. American Heart M Associations^^ Fighting Heart Disease and Stroke Exercise. Three CBS shows dmnf :d in ratings war CBS from page 12 to a show. “Almost Perfect,” starring Nancy Travis as a writer on a TV cop show, was in its second year and held the 8 p.m. time slot. CBS said both shows are offi cially on “hiatus,” meaning there’s no immediate plan to reschedule them. The network hasn’t quite given up on “EZ Streets,” a drama that was broadcast twice last week in an attempt to give it a successful launch. Yet it scored a 5.5 rating and 9 share in overnight ratings, less than half the audience of NBC’s “Law and Order” and ABC’s “Primetime Live.” It was yanked from the air on the same day Viewers for Quality Tele vision, a citizens group that moni tors and promotes quality television, named it the best new drama of the fall season. It will be rescheduled sometime after January 1, CBS spokesman Chris Enders said. “‘EZ Streets’ is a show that ev eryone at this network feels very strongly about,” he said. “We want to look for an opportunity to bring it back in an environment where it has a chance to succeed.” CBS decided it couldn’t afford to keep the lineup intact during the critical November ratings “sweeps” period, which began last Thursday.
