The last time New York City had a Republican mayor, Ninfa Segarra was a student demonstrator, joining protests for more power and services for the city's Hispanic residents.

Giuliani, who yesterday announced her appointment as deputy mayor.

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.
