Actor TREV BROUDY, best known for his appearance in the movie "The Fluffer", was the most seriously injured and may have permanent brain damage. Three suspects in the Broudy case have been arrested, but the community's relief turned to anger when Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley announced that hate crime charges would not be filed against them. At an October 11th memorial commemorating the 4th anniversary of the death of one of the world's most famous victims of gay bashing, Matthew Shepard, grassroots activists and elected officials voiced their dismay on the streets of West Hollywood, and This Way Out's LUCIA CHAPPELLE was there (includes comments by West Hollywood Sheriff's Station Captain LYNDA CASTRO, State Senator RICHARD ALARCON, former Speaker of the California Assembly ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA, Assemblymembers PAUL KORETZ and ROD WRIGHT, West Hollywood Mayor SAL GUARIELLO, and Los Angeles City Councilperson JANICE HAHN). . . . . 7:55 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by legendary openly lesbian singer/songwriter JANIS IAN [:10] + "A WORLD IN YOUR EAR" is a weekly half-hour program on BBC Radio 4 that samples English language programming around the globe.
