Introducing Court TV.
From the prominent
attorneys charged in the
BCC( banking scandal, to
the case of a man who was
pulled from his truck and
beaten during the rioting
in South Central Los
Angeles, the real life
drama of justice is as
riveting and as important
today as when our rule of
law was first written.
The founding fathers
wanted us to watch our
system of justice at work.
And so courtrooms
were built with large
audience galleries, and the
community came to court
to watch trials that were
the talk of the town.
Now, in the satellite
age, there's the Courtroom
Television Network, the
24-hour basic cable
channel that takes you to
courtrooms across the
country.
Now you can watch
television that is as current
as today's headlines,
covering the most
important issues of the
day: crime and
punishment, free
expression, fault or no
fault, even love and
marriage.
All without the
soundbite version of it or
some "docudrama"
mangling of it.
With Court TV's
camera crews and satellite
hicks, backed by the best
team of legal journalists
ever assembled, America
can watch the real life
drama of justice unfold
live, as it happens.
And so an idea as old
as America has now
become the inspiration for
America's next cable
breakthrough.

W
hen it comes to
Jerusalem, Israel's sup-
porters on Capitol Hill
believe that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure.
So when Israeli newspapers
reported that the State Depart-
ment's Agency for International
Development (AID) might open
an office in east Jerusalem to
process economic assistance for
the new Palestinian self-rule en-
tity in Gaza and Jericho, Israel's
friends on Capitol Hill sprang
into action.
But it was all just a misun-
derstanding, J. Brian Atwood,
AID's administrator, told a group
of agitated legislators at a meet-
ing last week convened by Rep.
Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and Rep. Ben
Gilman, R-N.Y.
Mr. Atwood promised that
there would be no new AID office
in east Jerusalem and that the
administration would be sensi-
tive to Jerusalem's special status
as the effort to provide an eco-
nomic boost to the Palestinians
gets off the ground.
He also said the agency might
expand its current operation in
the western part of the city.
"I told him that I would not
look kindly on any expanded All)
presence in Jerusalem," Mr. En-
gel said in an interview. "It
would be ludicrous for them to
meet with PLO officials in any
part of the city."
Israeli officials had concluded
more than a week ago that press
reports about the pending AID
decision were exaggerated. As a
result, the government in
Jerusalem maintained a scrupu-
lously low profile as the contro-
versy erupted in Washington.
That attitude did not impress
Rep. Engel.
"They're not alarmed by a lot
of things I think they should be
alarmed about," he said.
Leading pro-Israel activists
suggested that last week's flurry
of activity served a useful pur-
pose even if it was premature.
"The State Department was al-
ready working closely with the
Israelis to accommodate their
sensitivities on this," said Jess
Hordes, Washington director for
the Anti-Defamation League.
"But I think it was a timely and
appropriate intervention for leg-
islators to let the State Depart-
ment know that they have an
ongoing interest in how this plays
out."

Conservative pro-Israel activists
continue their stealth effort to
block any possible U.S. peace-
keeping role on the Golan
Heights.
Aides convinced Sen. Thad
Cochran, R-Miss., to introduce an
amendment requiring an ex-
haustive study before American
troops could be committed as
peacekeepers. But that amend-
ment was withdrawn after an ag-
itated Israeli embassy and the
American Israel Public Affairs
Committee (ALPAC) made the ar-
gument that legislative action
was really intended to preempt
any return of territory on the
