It was a few minutes before 1 P.M. in Police Commissioner William J. Bratton's office, but instead of being there, in the big room with the framed newspaper articles and models of old police cars, he was on television from New York City talking about his plans to become that city's police commissioner. His television appearance more or less epitomized why people either love or hate William Joseph Bratton. To his admirers, he came off as smooth and articulate, coolly confident of his ability to get the job done. To his detractors, it was yet another example of a man who is aloof and ambitious, often seeking the limelight for his own end.

Trucks carrying copies of The New York Times were turned back at the Canadian border near Buffalo early yesterday by Canadian officials trying to enforce a judge's ban on coverage of a murder case in Ontario. The Times yesterday included an article about the controversy stemming from the ban, which prohibits publication in Canada of all but the most basic details of the case to insure a fair trial for the husband and wife charged in the 1991 killings of two teen-age girls. One defendant, Karla Homolka, was convicted in July of manslaughter and sentenced to 12 years in prison. The ban is in effect until after the trial of her husband, Paul Teale, which is expected to take place sometime next year.
