A Slap In The Face
Jim Taricani, a television journalist for an NBC station, was freed last weekend after four months of house arrest for refusing to reveal his sources. And Judith Miller of this newspaper and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine have been ordered to jail for up to 18 months for protecting their sources, although they remain free until their appeals run out. In short, the climate for freedom of the press in the U.S. feels more ominous than it has for decades. One appropriate response is to protest vociferously and seek the passage of a federal shield law for journalists. But its also crucial for us to reflect on why this is happening now -- and a major reason, I think, is that we in the news media are widely perceived as arrogant, out of touch and untrustworthy.. Nicholas D Kristof Op-Ed column says climate for freedom of the press in United States feels more ominous than it has for decades; cites jailing of one journalist and threat of jailing of several others by judges whose decisions reflect values of their society; says public support for news media has all but evaporated; says public sees American journalists as arrogant; says it is imperative that journalists respond to charge--not by dismissing it, but by working far more diligently to reconnect with public (M)

A Slap on Terrorism
Supporters of Senator John McCain have been accusing Senator Barack Obama of having a pre-Sept. 11 mind-set in his approach to national security.

A SLAP IN THE FACE
WERE it not Armenian, and perhaps if it did not incorporate a very chaste bordello into its story line, A Slap in the Face would never have turned up at the New Directors/New Films series, where it was shown earlier this week. It will open tomorrow at the Embassy 72d Street theater. This isnt a bad film, but its a primitive one; it has the plainness, if not quite the simplicity, of a folk tale. Waiting for its charms to manifest themselves isnt a futile task, but its one that requires some forbearance. Directed by Genrikh Malyan, this is the story of Torik, an orphan in a small village. Torik is so sad that he frequently looks at the sky for some kind of encouragement, which is why A Piece of the Sky is a direct translation of the films Armenian name. As a small boy, Torik is adopted by his uncle, who teaches him to make straw saddles, and his aunt. When the aunt is widowed after Torik grows up, she devotes herself to playing matchmaker for Torik. But no one in the village wants to marry him, because he is poor. The entire midsection of the film seems devoted to shots of picturesque Armenian doors being slammed in the aunts face.
