    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

$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.

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.
