By the way, those would be civil cases, not prosecutuions. Rudy never tried to send anyone to jail for making movies, painting or anything else.

...here's an editorial outburst from the Daily News at the start of this year: "The city is still plagued by 142 pornographic video stores, topless bars and other X-rated businesses - 73 in Manhattan, 42 in Queens, 14 in Brooklyn, nine in the Bronx and four on Staten Island. In the past two years, the Giuliani administration has padlocked dozens of porn shops and dragged their owners into court. But once there, tenacious smutlords and their lawyers have been able to find enough wiggle room in the city's zoning rules to stay in business and continue blighting neighborhoods."
