LAVA HOT SPRINGS, Idaho ? The
elementary school was closed and
dozens of law enforcement officers
scrambled to stop lions, tigers and
crossbred cats today after they escaped
from a private wild animal compound.
"There's been 11 and possibly 12
(animals) killed and we know that
three are still loose," said a Bannock
County sheriffs dispatcher, who would
not give her name. She said officials
were hedging on the numbers because
there were reports that "a few more"
of the big cats had escaped today.
She said the owners of the privately
owned compound, called Ligertown,
were attacked by at least one of the
cats after they escaped about 9:30 p.m.

BIG MOVIE
P\, y 1/2 (out of four stars)
If you don't like to think, stop ri

"Cockers," Spike Lee's newest f
provides a look into life in the in
city and challenges the viewer to tf
about its implications on society
on individuals.
Based on a book by Richard Pi
it is a story about Strike, a drug d
er (or "docker") who is involved in
murder of another dealer. The
revolves around a homiride detecti
relentless pursuit of the murderer
Strike's relationshiD with other:
!the street.
Mekhi Phifer, who portrays
street-smart Strike, does a magi
cent job depicting the emotional
mental anguish present in the in
city. His performance is especially
markable considering that Clocl
is his first film experience.
The movie brings up many
turbing topics that will cause yo
think more about social ills that pk
our society. Perhaps the most
ticeable to me was the attitude of
police as portrayed by the movie,
police, in general, are shown as 1
ing little desire to see justice ser
and are generally held to be cruel
sensitive and apathetic. The nob
exception is Detective Rocco K1

about the murder out of a concerr

doesn't care as much about justice as

siderably younger Phifer. The interand

the sucked in to the drug business,
rnfi- This is an incredible movie, but it
and isn't perfect. It moves a little slowly
mer at times, and the plot isn't as action'
re- packed as I had thought it would be.
ters In fact, it feels much like a documentary
in the way it presents informadis
tion. Don't get me wrong, its nothing
a to like anything you'd see on PBS. In
igue fact, the slower-developing plot adds
no- to the film's credibility. The issues
