The Big City; FALLING FOR IT
Date: 17 July 1994
By John Tierney

Each of these letters to dog shelters across America bears the logo of a nonexistent Korean company, Kea So Joo, which means Dog Meat Soup. The company offers 10 cents a pound for dogs that will be cooked and canned for sale to Asians fond of this traditional dish. "Dog is good food. Dog is good medicine," the letter explains. "Our business getting very big. Need more dog." It offers free pickup and a promise: "Dog no suffer. We have quick death for dog." This is the first stage of a genre that Skaggs has been developing since the 1960s. Now 48 years old, he began as a conventional artist in Greenwich Village: painter, sculptor, organizer of political protests. He carried a cross up Fifth Avenue on Easter, built a Vietnamese nativity scene in Central Park and gradually got annoyed at the way the press covered him. Like everyone else in America, he resented having the world explained by journalists in midtown Manhattan. He realized that many of New York's media know-it-alls are just moderately educated folks churning out information obtained from press releases and from phone conversations with strangers. They're paid to sit in windowless rooms and pretend they can see the political situation in Prague or the best place to rock climb in Arizona. Skaggs saw an opportunity for what he calls conceptual performance art or media pieces. He has staged dozens of media hoaxes that have fooled hundreds of newspapers and television shows ranging from network news programs to "Geraldo."

Justice and Television's Unblinking Eye
Date: 17 July 1994
By Donna Greene

LIKE millions of others, Dr. Paul Thaler watched the O. J. Simpson pretrial hearing. But he did so with a special eye to see if the hearing supported what he concluded after six years of research -- that television coverage of trials interferes with the process of justice.
Dr. Thaler, a former newspaper reporter and now the director of journalism and media at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, is the author of "The Watchful Eye: American Justice in the Age of the Television Trial" (Praeger). In that book, he focuses on the history and consequences of still cameras and television equipment in the courtroom.

Revco D.S. Inc. completed its $600 million acquisition yesterday of Hook-Superx Inc., creating the nation's second-largest drugstore chain. Revco completed the purchase after the Federal Trade Commission said it would require the company to sell three stores in Virgina. The purchase, which comes about two years after Revco, based in Twinsburg, Ohio, emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, creates a retail drug chain of 2,381 in 25 Eastern and Midwestern states. The company trails only the 2,600-store Rite-Aid chain in the number of stores. Under the agreement proposed by the F.T.C., one of Revco's stores in each of three Virginia cities -- Covington, Marion and Radford -- must be sold to an F.T.C.-approved company within a year.
