Oh what a weirderful year!

NEWS OF THE
WEIRD

SOME notably weird
events of the past year:

Lamar, Missouri -- A pre-
trial hearing took place in
February on Joyce Lehr’s law-
suit against the county for
injwies sutfered in a 1993 fall
in the icy, unplowed parking
lot of the local high school.

The Carthage Press
reported that Lehr claimed
injuries to nearly every single
part of her

According to. her petition:
“All the: bones; organs, mus-
cles, tendons, tissues, nerves,
veins, arteries, ligaments wee
discs, cartilages, and the joints
of her: body were fractured,
broken, ruptured, punctured,
compressed, dislocated, sepa-
rated, bruised, contused, nar-
rowed, abrased, lacerated,
burned, cut, torn, wrenched,
swollen, strained, sprained,
inflamed and infected.”

Willie King, 37, was arrest-
ed moments after he had
allegedly mugged a 94-year-
old woman in a housccoat just
outside her front door in New
York’s Greenwich Village in
July.

The woman is the mother
of Vincent “Chin” Gigante,
the reputed godfather of the
Genovese crime family. (At
press time, amazingly, King is
still alive.)

In January, The Wall Street
Journal reported on the
growing fetish surrounding
the act of smoking.

As examples: (1) An erotic
smoking video from an
Oklahoma City firm,
CoherentLight, described by
the Journal: “The scene opens
with a young blonde (Paula),
dressed in a shimmering strap-
less gown and a veiled black
hat, lighting her cigarette
from a nearby candle. She
takes numerous long drags.”
(2) A smokers’ newsletter,
with film reviews: Of the
above video, it wrote,
“(Paula) is a fabulous smok-
er.” Another review, of the
Hollywood movie “Mad
Love”: “Drew Barrymore
smokes throughout; there are
many deep irthales, although
the exhales aren’t great.” (3)
The fetish magazine Leg Show
has begun to include pictorials
of women smoking.

Several sexual service-
providers ran for public office
in 1996 in the United States,
but none was elected.
