The District Attorney And Publicity
Date: 17 March 1996
Your March 3 article ["Pirro Assailed Over News Breaks"] certainly pointed up the question of whether District Attorney Jeanine Pirro is overly aggressive in courting the media to the potential detriment of the rights of the accused in criminal cases. Another, admittedly less serious, issue concerns me as regards the District Attorney and publicity. At the time of jury deliberations in the O. J. Simpson trial, I saw Ms. Pirro during daytime hours on both CNN and WCBS-TV, and your article pointed out that she was on "Nightline" as well. It seemed to me that she was spending quite a bit of time not being Westchester D.A., rather opting for high-profile time on the air on a matter unrelated to her duties.

THE Westfield Leader, locally owned for 106 years, was merely exercising its usual "reserve," as Carmelo Montalbano put it, in covering the recent death of its publisher and owner, Jeffrey L. Bauer. In a dignified obituary on page 9 of the March 7 issue, the weekly Leader told its 6,500 readers only that Mr. Bauer, 48, "died suddenly" three days earlier. Up the road, in the offices of The Westfield Record, The Leader's aggressive rival, the editors saw the story differently, quickly increasing the press run by 1,000 copies over the normal 4,800.

The Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corporation, an operator of nursing homes and rehabilitation hospitals, disclosed yesterday that Federal investigators were looking into $3.4 million in Medicare billings it may have improperly submitted. The Albuquerque, N.M.-based company admitted that it appeared that some of its billings to the Government did not follow Medicare rules. But it maintained the overbillings were a mistake and "do not represent a regular pattern or practice." Nonetheless, the investigation could eventually result in civil or criminal fines and sanctions that might hurt the company's finances, Horizon/CMS said.
