leading role as metro editor in the 'journalistic fraud' summarized by

warranting his discharge; (2) Immediate investigation of the
politically-explosive metro-based corruption stories long-suppressed by
Mr. Landman -- beginning with the corruption of 'merit selection' to the
New York Court of Appeals, as documented by CJA's October 16, 2000 and
November 13, 2000 reports and the record then and thereafter in Elena
Ruth Sassower, Coordinator of the Center for Judicial Accountability,
