The experimental law that allowed cameras into New York State's courtrooms -- and dramatic footage of criminal trials into millions of living rooms -- expires this week, with the law's future in dispute. The dispute centers on a provision in a State Senate bill that would extend the law but would not allow news organizations to videotape or photograph some witnesses during testimony unless the witnesses agreed. Many news organizations say that would sharply curtail their ability to cover a trial. The Assembly version of the bill, reflecting current law, would not set such a limit.

Mets Manager Bud Harrelson today calmly and confidently addressed the issue of his job security and defended his laissez-faire handling of the team's emotionally tumultuous and otherwise embarrassing weekend at Shea Stadium. "I came in with a smile, and I'll go out with a smile," said Harrelson, whose team began a three-game series here against the Cubs having lost six of its last eight games, the last two to the St. Louis Cardinals by a combined score of 21-6. "Do I want to be fired? Absolutely not. Do I think I'll be fired? Absolutely not."

It was late on a Saturday afternoon when President Fernando Collor de Mello was noisily deserted by a close political ally. But the President had a novel way to quickly control the damage. The next morning, Mr. Collor emerged from his compound here for a Sunday jog. Stretched over his chest was a freshly minted T-shirt, the paint barely dry. Above a stylized hourglass, an inscription read, "Time and the Lord will judge."
