The story in tomorrow's National Edition runs something like this:
Christian Slater turned down the real-life role of inmate Monday, taking a plea deal that will allow him to avoid jail time for grabbing and squeezing a woman's buttocks on an Upper East Side street in May.My headline is this:
Edison Alban, a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office, said all charges against Slater, 36, will be dropped if he stays clear of trouble for the next six months.
